Gin Blossoms - Folsom Prison Blues lyrics

(johnny cash) Well i hear that train a comin' It's rollin' around 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 And 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 eating In a fancy dinin' car They're probably drinkin coffee And smokin' big cigars Well 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 If they free me from this prison If that railroad train was mine You bet I'd move it on 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
