Johnny Cash - The Wall

There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten But the strangest of em' all Was a friend of mine who spent his time Starin' at the wall... Starin' at the wall... In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote Proving crime don't pay Was the very same gal he robbed and stole for namin' her wedding day ,namin' her wedding day... As he looked at the wall So strong and tall I heard him softly curse Nobody at all ever climbed that wall But I'm gonna be the first... I'm gonna be the first... Then the warden walked by and said son don't try I'd hate to see you fall Cause there is no doubt they'll carry you out If you ever touch that wall... If you ever touch that wall... 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... He never made that wall... Well there's never been a man who shook this can But I knew a man who tried Newspapers called it a jailbreak plan But I know it was suicide... I know it was suicide...
