San Quentin lyrics
Song information
Artist: Johnny Cash Album: At San Quentin
Lyrics
San quentin, you've been livin' hell to me You've scalded me since nineteen sixty three I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die And long ago I stopped askin' why
San quentin, I hate every inch of you You've cut me and you've scarred me thru an' thru And I'll walk out a wiser, weaker man; Mister congressman why can't you understand
San quentin, what good do you think you do? Do you think that I'll be different when you're through? You bend my heart and mind and you warp my soul Your stone walls turn my blood a little cold
San quentin, may you rot and burn in hell May your walls fall and may I live to tell May all the world forget you ever stood And the whole world regret you did no good
San quentin, I hate every inch of you
