Why Do You Punish Me? Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Why do you punish me for loving you? 

You're counting my mistakes, how about yours 

Why do you sentence me, too nice of tears? 

Convicting all these dreams, I've dreamed for all these years 

My heart cries out behind these prison bars 

It pleads to you for your true love to set it free 

Why do you punish me is love a crime? 

If so I'll spend the lifetime, loving, serving time 

My heart cries out behind these prison bars 

It pleads to you for your true love to set it free
