paroles de chanson Nobody Cared - Live at Österåker Prison, Sweden - October 1972 - Johnny Cash

It all started out in Illinois with a woman that I thought was just my own
She saw a new tie and a new shirt kicked her heels and flipped her skirt
Slammed that door and left me standing all alone
They had a love nest in his new club
There went my wife all over town
As I watched it I got green and with my drinkin' I got mean
Struck a match and burned that club right to the ground
And I spent nine months in the hole, lyin' there in solitaire
And nobody cared, nobody cared, nobody cared
There was a screw out in the hall
That had me backed up to the wall
Escortin' me with a water pistol, in that 36 degrees
With me shiverin' to my knees
I ain't gonna forget about that water pistol
If I've been bad you think that'll make me better
If I've been a sinner you think that'll make me a saint, no it ain't
Freedom come and I found him, made him take off
All his clothes and socks and shoes
Had him scramblin' on the floor, tryin' to make it to the door
Cryin', crawlin', screamin', bloody murder too
Well I didn't really kill him though
Over his whole world there hung a paw
I made him bend over on his knees
And to his screams of Owen please
Took my turpentine water pistol, and I let him have it all
'Cause I spent nine months in the hole, lyin' there in solitaire
And nobody cared, nobody cared, nobody cared
And nobody cared, nobody cared, nobody cared
