Lyrics Austin Prison - Johnny Cash
They
had
a
warrant
out
for
me
all
over
the
country
And
i
was
trying
to
beat
the
raps
in
Idaho
I
was
breaking
into
a
schoolhouse
sunday
morning
without
warning
When
i
saw
the
sheriff
coming
for
me
slow
from
down
below
His
steel
grey
eyes
were
blazing
when
he
saw
me
His
hand
was
on
his
gun
when
he
rode
up
He
said
you
killed
that
woman
i
know
you
shot
her
why′d
you
do
it
I'm
taking
you
to
Austin
then
i′m
gonna
lock
you
up
Well
he
tied
me
with
a
plow
line
the
next
morning
And
he
had
me
deep
in
Texas
the
next
day
A
crazy
screaming
lynch
mob
waited
in
the
streets
of
Austin
But
he
put
me
in
the
jailhouse
and
he
threw
the
key
away
A
jury
found
me
guilty
three
months
later
twelve
evil
men
with
murder
in
their
eyes
They
even
took
me
out
and
said
now
show
us
where
you
killed
her
And
that
wicked
judge
said
now
i
here
by
sentence
you
to
die
But
here
i
am
far
away
from
Austin
prison
my
friend
the
jailer
handed
me
a
file
Now
all
i
want
between
me
and
there
are
a
lot
of
friendly
people
And
miles
and
miles
and
miles
and
miles
and
miles
and
miles
and
miles
1 Amen
