Five More Miles to Folsom - Lee Hazlewood

Five more miles to Folsom.

This train can’t move too slow.

Ninety-nine years at Folsom.

Then they’ll let me go.

Shot a man in Dallas.

He made a fool of me.

Thought they never catched me.

How wrong can one guy be.

Five more miles to Folsom.

This train can' t move too slow.

Ninety-nine years at Folsom.

Then they’ll let me go.

Let my love at the station.

Cryin' in the rain.

Broke her heart at the station.

'Cause I couldn’t explain.

Five more miles to Folsom.

This train can' t move too slow.

Ninety-nine years at Folsom.

Then they’ll let me go.

Sit and stare out my window.

At someone else’s moon.

And ask why was I born.

Ninety-nine years too soon
