Lyric discussion by KickerOfElves 

Kris wrote this song about Johnny Cash, his good friend and fellow Highwayman. It talks about Johnny's contradictory stance as being full of the gospel while also being indulgent, doing drugs, and having an obvious dark side to him. I don't think this was meant to be like a diss, because Kris and Johnny were friends and it's not too harsh. But it's definitely about Mr. Cash.

@KickerOfElves Kris has said on a number of occasions that the line "He's a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction" was written about Cash.
