Johnny Cash - Nobody Cared lyrics

It all started out in Illinois with a woman that I thought was just my own She saw a new tie and a new shirt kicked her heels and flipped her skirt Slammed that door and left me standing all alone They had a love nest in his new club there went my wife all over town As I watched it I got green and with my drinkin' I got mean Stuck a match and burned that club right to the ground And I spent nine months in the hole lyin' there in solitaire And nobody cared nobody cared nobody cared There was a screw out in the hall that had me backed up to the wall Escortin' me with a water pistol in that 36 degrees With me shiverin' to my knees I ain't gonna forget about that water pistol If I've been bad you think that'll make me better If I've been a sinner you think that'll make me a saint no it ain't Freedom come and I found him made him take off All his clothes and socks and shoes Had him scramblin' on the floor tryin' to make it to the door Cryin' crawlin' screamin' bloody murder too Well I didn't really k** him though over his whole world there hung a paw I made him bend over on his knees and to his screams of Owen please Took my turpentine water pistol and I let him have it all Cause I spent nine months... And nobody cared nobody cared nobody cared
