Nobody Cared - Johnny Cash

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 drinking I got mean

Stuck a match and burned that club right to the ground

And I spent nine months in the hole lying 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

Escorting me with a water pistol in that 36 degrees

With me shivering to my knees I am not going to 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 isn’t

Freedom come and I found him made him take off

All his clothes and socks and shoes

Had him scrambling on the floor trying to make it to the door

Crying crawling screaming bloody murder too

Well I didn’t really kill 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

Because I spent nine months

And nobody cared nobody cared nobody cared
