Cash Baby

Friday, November 04, 2005 11:23 AM

I really feel like I'm stuck in Folsom Prision. Shut out from using any of my own creativity, or any of my own independent thought. I've started planning my escape, should be relatively soon.

Title: Folsom Prison Blues
Artist: Johnny Cash
Album: At San Quentin (The Complete 1969 Concert) [LIVE]

I hear the train a comin'It's rollin' 'round the bend,And I ain't seen the sunshine,Since, I don't know when,I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,And time keeps draggin' on,But that train keeps a-rollin',On down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby,My Mama told me, "Son,Always be a good boy,Don't ever play with guns,"But I shot a man in Reno,Just to watch him die,When I hear that whistle blowin',I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks eatin',In a fancy dining car,They're probably drinkin' coffee,And smokin' big cigars,But I know I had it comin',I know I can't be free,But those people keep a-movin',And that's what tortures me.

Well, if they freed me from this prison,If that railroad train was mine,I bet I'd move out over a little,Farther down the line,Far from Folsom Prison,That's where I want to stay,And I'd let that lonesome whistle,Blow my Blues away.
