Although I once travelled from Kalamazoo, Michigan to Guelph, Ontario while my friends played the Johnny Cash greatest-hits CD on repeat — an exhausting but memorable experience, to say the least — I hadn't heard this song until it was played in The Shield. It's so melancholy and, well, Man-in-Black.

Little did I know that it's actually a cover of a Sting song. Is it just me, or does Johnny blow Sting away? I mean, honestly, Sting, you're singing about rifles and regret; why does your original version sound so perky and upbeat? I'm sorry, but when you sing about orphaning a man's children and widowing his wife, it shouldn't sound like a Mardi Gras jam.
