'No Earthly Good'
Can't believe I'm 42 years old and just now have encountered this song! God(cq) timing, I reckon. Yesterday, I went lookin' for the new Johnny Cash album and mistook this one for it. And on the one I bought was this song.
No Earthly Good
Come hear me good brothers come here one and all
Don't brag about standing or you'll surely fall
You're shinin' your light yes and shine it you should
You're so heavenly minded and you're no earthly good
No earthly good you are no earthly good
You're so heavenly minded you're no earthly good
You're shinin' your light yes and shine it you should
You're so heavenly minded and you're no earthly good
Come here me good sisters you're salt of the earth
If your salt isn't salted then what is it worth
You could give someone a cool drink if you would
You're so heavenly minded and you're no earthly good
No earthly good you are no earthly good
You're so heavenly minded you're no earthly good
You could give someone a cool drink if you would
You're so heavenly minded and you're no earthly good
If you're holdin' heaven then spread it around
There are hungry hands reaching up here from the ground
Move over and share the high ground where you stood
So heavenly minded and you're no earthly good
No earthly good you are no earthly good
You're so heavenly minded you're no earthly good
Move over and share the high ground where you stood
So heavenly minded and you're no earthly good
No earthly good...
Awesome song.
Until about a year ago, I made no attempt to be any "earthly good" to my fellow man. That's changing, and that's all I have to say about it.
But the changes keep me from hidin' my light under a bushel when it comes to exhortin' Christians about what it means to live the Christian life. I didn't dare for the 20 years I chose not to be a part of a local congregation.
If you're holdin' heaven then spread it around

And if anybody can find the lyrics to Cash's "A Half a Mile a Day," post 'em here. That song sums up the way I feel.
Sorry, E.R., I think you're going to have to break down and buy the two-CD collection "Johnny Cash: Personal File" to get the lyrics. It was just released in May and the lyrics are copyrighted and not available through the legitimate lyrics databases.
You'd probably like all the previously unreleased material in the collection anyway.

Uh, that's what I did. I accidentally bought Personal File, thinking it was the newest Cash album. (I didn't think to look for the lyrics inside. D'oh!)
But somebody didn't follow the links!!! :-)

I bought Cash's albumn, "The Legend of Johhny Cash" a couple weeks ago and just a couple days ago bought "American V: A Hundered Highways." Do you have that one? You'll probably like "I Came to Believe". I thought it was pretty good.
I'll have to look for The Personal File.
