Johnny Cash - I Was There When It Happened “I was there when it happened, and I guess I oughta know.” 🙏🎶 When Johnny Cash sang those words, you could feel every ounce of conviction in his voice. Long before the Man in Black became a legend, he was singing songs of faith, truth, and redemption with the Tennessee Two right by his side. “I Was There When It Happened” is one of those gospel-country tunes that remind us that belief isn’t about proof — it’s about feeling something deep in your soul.
