We all have to face The Wall. I'm well into my 70s, and oh how times have changed. I'm now the prisoner of a body I pushed too hard. A life lived without brakes. No regrets. Someday soon, I'll touch that wall.
April 12, 1972 I crashed out of fox lake correctional institution in wisconsin...10 days later I was ratted out by a family member and spent a very long time in super max😞
What about "in his hand was a note his gall had wrote - showed that crime don't pay - was the very same gal he'd robbed and stole for - namin' her wedding day . . .
I like how Johnny cash represented poor people. May his spirit live forever.

Godspeed. I wish you peace and contentment, and hope it finds you in less dire ways.
Everytime i listen to Cashes music its like coming home.
Really well written song. Its almost like it written for Johnny to sing.
Scared to admit but I love old country music it’s honestly the best thing ever
One of J Cash best songs You sir Mr Cash are a Legend
Thee is that surround me
Yes he entertained us unselfishly for decades

Poetry!!
Johnny is the greatest
Like 13 goin in soon...sad n short like my life one of my favorites Mr. Cash
Robert stan i can relate to you.
There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten
But the strangest of them all
Was a friend of mine who spent his time
Staring at the wall
Staring at the wall
As he looked at the wall
So strong and tall
You could hear him softly curse
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna be the first
I'm gonna be the first
Well, the warden walked by and said son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
For there is no doubt they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall
If you ever touch that wall
Well, a years went by since, that's the truth
Well, a years gone (them mean bastards ain't they?)
Well, a years gone by since he made his try
But I can still recall
How hard he tried and the way he died
But he never made that wall
Never made that wall
Well, there's never been a man ever shook this can
But I knew a man who tried
The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan
But I know it was suicide
I know it was suicide

Wow that last sentence made it.
What about "in his hand was a note his gall had wrote - showed that crime don't pay - was the very same gal he'd robbed and stole for - namin' her wedding day . . .
Jaya Bhadra the suicide rate in Folsom would probably have tripled if he sang that part lol

Harlan Howard is correctly listed as the writer below the song, but at the top, James Newton Howard is incorrectly listed as the songwriter.
