I Still Miss Someone (Johnny Cash)

I Still Miss Someone (Johnny Cash) by snewjackswing1983

I've always liked the simplicity of this song. Of course, that could be said of many Johnny Cash songs; he never went crazy with his arrangements. But I like how the chorus is sung only once, and the songs ends after the second verse (or stanza, depending on how you like to name parts of songs), as if to say "yep, that's it. She's long gone and there's nothin' more to sing."

My favorite version of this song is the live recording on the classic "At Folsom Prison" album (1968).
