Folsom Prison Blues

I hear the train a comin’; it’s rollin’ ’round the bend,
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when.
I’m stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin’ on.
But that train keeps rollin’ on down to San Antone.When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy; don’t ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin’ I hang my head and cry.I bet there’s rich folk eatin’ in a fancy dining car.
They’re prob’ly drinkin’ coffee and smokin’ big cigars,
But I know I had it comin’, I know I can’t be free,
But those people keep a movin’, and that’s what tortures me.Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I’d move on over a little farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison, that’s where I want to stay,
And I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.John R. Cash; © 1956 Hi Lo Music
Recently been reading up on some artists. certain songs like the above and Eminem’s Stan are pretty thought provoking.
As an answer to someone else’s blog, i believe people do get married for a host of reasons, which are often mixed and blurred and may not be the most honest.
Is there a need to?Well it depends what you consider as a need and what is a want.
One may be the loneliest number, but sometimes any more than that can be a bitch.<-I’m not making puns or anything here, just a punctuation.Banging your hopes that your kids will take care of you in future is still a gamble. What if all my kids become retards, handicapped, hit by a speeding truck, torched up while playing with fire, decides that life isnt worth living anymore? Then say fuck shit there goes my investment and i’m like halfway to my grave and i cant get some anymore so i got no kids and even if i could it just isnt working anymore.
I decline to comment on gender difference as i believe its not right to stereotype in any way.We are all individuals, unless you make up your mind according to the way they choose to classify you, then by all means.
Life is full of choices, often too many, and bloody tough ones just keep coming. But we are often restricted by ourselves and the education that has already been implanted in our minds that tell us we have to do certain things.
