Well I hear the train a comin' she's gonna rollin' round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when But I'm stuck in Folsom Prison oh the time keeps draggin' on And that train keep a rollin' on down to San Antone Well now I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car I bet they're drinkin' coffee chewin' on big cigars But I know I had it comin' now I know I can't be free And that train keep a movin' and Lord that's what tortures me [ Guitar ] Well when I was just a baby my mama told me son Always be a good boy don't you mess around with guns But I shot a man in Reno stood there to watch him die And when I hear that whistle blowing oh I hang my head and I cry Well if they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine Bet I'd move it on just a little bit farther down the line Away from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay I got to stay now And I'd let that lonesome whistle let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

Dahlias, they come from me A promise to get well That ain't working, thinking that you're no good Don't worry 'cause I'm not the kind to kiss and tell Dahlias and cherry trees I don't recall them anyway Some lovers know it ain't gonna wear out To each his own the same Look what you wasted When the lights are cutting out And I come down in your room Our daily compromise, it is written in your signed armistice And when the lights are cutting out And I come down in your room Well, we'll decide as always, here is your signed armistice It's time to follow and not to heat it up Requesting this plane is a propeller in the middle of the course When ambitions are low Head on close, hang on before you lose control The octagon logo had to rip it up The semaphore message on your lips Some lovers know it ain't gonna wear out To each his own the same What else is wasted? When the lights are cutting out And I come down in your room Our daily compromise, it is written in your signed armistice And when the lights are cutting out And I come down in your room Well, we'll decide as always, here is your signed armistice For lovers in a rush, for lovers always For lovers in a rush, keeping promises For lovers in a rush, for lovers always For lovers in a rush, for lovers always For lovers in a rush, keeping promises For lovers in a rush, for lovers always
