"Buy, Buy, Buy: Johnny Cash Song Is iTunes’s 10 Billionth Download
By JOSEPH PLAMBECK
2:23 p.m. | Updated And we have a winner! Apple announced on Thursday that Louie Sulcer of Woodstock, Ga., clicked the “Buy” button at an opportune time, downloading the 10 billionth song from the company’s iTunes Store since the site went active in April 2003. The fortuitous purchase makes Mr. Sulcer the winner of the iTunes Countdown to 10 Billion Songs, and he’ll receive a $10,000 iTunes gift card.

The song? Johnny Cash’s “Guess Things Happen That Way.”

2. I suspect that Apple would not have allowed the 10-billionth download to be something controversial

4. Ba-doo, Ba-doo
Well, you ask me if I'll forget my baby
I guess I will some day
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

You ask me if I'll get along
I guess I will some way
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

CHORUS:
God gave me that girl to lean on,
Then he put me on my own
Heaven help me be a man
And have the strength to stand alone
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

You ask me if I'll miss her kisses
I guess I will every day
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

You ask me if I'll find another
I don't know, I can't say
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

CHORUS:
God gave me that girl to lean on,
Then he put me on my own
Heaven help me be a man
And have the strength to stand alone
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way
