Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Gin Blossoms

I hear that train a comin' 

It's rollin' around the bend 

I ain't seen the sunshine 

Since I don't know when 

Well, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison 

And time keeps draggin' on 

That train keeps rollin' 

On down to San Antone 

When I was just a baby 

My mama told me, "Son 

Always be good boy 

Don't you ever play with guns" 

But I shot a man in Reno 

Just to watch him die 

When I hear that lonesome whistle 

I hang my head and cry 

Well, I bet there's rich folks eating 

From a fancy dinin' car 

I bet they're taking mushrooms 

And smokin' big cigars 

Well, I know I had it comin' 

I know I can't be free 

Those people keep movin' 

And that's what tortures me 

If they free me from this prison 

If that railroad train was mine 

You bet I'd move it on 

A little farther down the line 

Yeah, far from Folsom Prison 

That's where I want to be 

But those people keep movin' 

Goddammit, that's what tortures me 

Man, if they'd free me from this prison 

If that railroad train was mine 

You bet I'd move it on 

A little farther down the line 

Yeah, far from Folsom Prison 

That's where I want to be 

Those people keep movin' 

Goddammit that's what tortures me
