"Next in Line" is a song written and originally recorded by Johnny Cash.

The song was recorded by Cash in April 1957 and released as a single on Sun Records (Sun 266) later in the year, with " Don't Make Me Go" (another song from the same recording session) on the opposite side. [3] [1] The single reached #9 on the Billboard C&W Best Sellers in Stores chart. [4] [5] The song "Next in Line" (on its own) also reached #99 on the Top 100 [6] and the top ten on the Most Played C&W by Jockeys chart. [7]

Composition

It is a melancholy love song, as is the song it was coupled with on the single. [8]
