* The second to last song Johnny Cash recorded (and the last he wrote) before his death two weeks later was "Like the 309". The song by itself isn't heartwarming per se, but it becomes this due to the fact that it is a very funny, grooving song, and shows that, even with his failing health, Cash still had a sense of humor.

* "Ragged Old Flag", Johnny's thoughts on America with the growing disillusionment caused by the Vietnam War:
-->And she's getting thread bare, and she's wearing thin\\
"But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in\\
Because she's been through the fire before\\
And I believe she can take a whole lot more\\
So we raise her up every morning\\
And we bring her down slow every night\\
We don't let her touch the ground\\
And we fold her up right\\
On second thought\\
''I do like to brag''\\
Because I'm mighty proud of\\
That Ragged Old Flag\\

Badass Baritone has been disambiguated


* "The Wanderer", the final track on U2's ''Zooropa'', on which Cash provides lead vocals, describes a man who goes out looking for God in a post-apocalyptic world, [[ReligiousBruiser armed only with a Bible and a gun]], leaving his loved one behind in search of any signs of decency in a world that has grown cynical. Bono insisted on getting Johnny Cash to sing vocals, as he said that’s how he had imagined it when writing the song - indeed, the chorus in particular makes use of Cash's BadassBaritone.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". Love at first sight, re-visited in old age--and still just as moving as that first moment, when that other person brought light to "the dark and the endless sky". UpToEleven in Cash's case as he likely addressed the song to June, recording it not long before her death.

* "The Baron": An aging pool hustler is challenged to a game by a young man. During the game the old man realizes his challenger is the son he never knew he had. Not only that, but by the end of the game he is reunited with the mother. (It is strongly hinted that the young man orchestrated the entire thing to get his parents back together.) The story behind the song was so strong, it formed the basis of a movie, ''The Baron and the Kid'', starring Cash as the Baron and June Carter Cash as the mother.

* "Look At Them Beans". A poor farmer dies. The next year his family is astounded when their land yields a huge crop. Corny, joyous and bittersweet all at the same time (the original version by Joe Tex, "Papa's Dream", is a little heavier on the bittersweet side, while Cash's is more joyous).
