Lyrics Five More Miles to Folsom - Lee Hazlewood

Five More Miles to Folsom

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.
Cryin' 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
