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
Crying 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
