about

I picked this obscure Johnny Cash song to pay tribute to the man and his music. It also allows me to delude myself about my high school love life.

lyrics

LYRICS

Well a readin’ and a writin’ and ’rithmetic never did get through to me
It ain’t because I’m square or thick cause I learned my ABC’s
But when I graduated from the grammar school and I moved one grade above
I began to be a snook at books but I made straight A’s in love

CHORUS

Now the teacher would say to learn your algebray but I’d bring home C’s and D’s
How could I make an A when there’s a swingin’ maid
On the left and on the right and in the back and the front of me
Oh my grades are low on my card I know but they oughta give me one above
If they gave me a mark for learnin’ in the dark I’d have straight A’s in love

Now my senior year with graduation near I did my home work every night
And when my mama said I oughta go to bed I’d turn out all the lights
But my sweetie pie was waitin’ right outside she’d be a cooin’ like a dove
Though I did my best, I failed some test but I made straight A’s in love

CHORUS
