[00:00.60]Austin Prison - Johnny Cash
[00:01.60]Lyrics by：Johnny Cash
[00:02.47]Composed by：Johnny Cash
[00:06.99]They had a warrant out for me all
[00:09.34]Over the country
[00:11.40]And I was trying to beat the raps in idaho
[00:15.43]Idaho
[00:16.37]I was breaking into a schoolhouse
[00:18.93]Sunday morning without warning
[00:21.27]When I saw the sheriff coming
[00:23.35]For me slow from down below
[00:27.39]His steel grey eyes were
[00:28.93]Blazing when he saw me
[00:32.11]His hand was on his gun when he rode up
[00:36.80]He said you killed that woman
[00:38.65]I know you shot her why'd you do it
[00:41.45]I'm taking you to austin then
[00:43.85]I'm gonna lock you up
[00:47.33]Well he tied me with a plow
[00:49.40]Line the next morning
[00:52.14]And he had me deep in texas the next day
[00:56.93]A crazy screaming lynch mob
[00:59.16]Waited in the streets of austin
[01:01.37]But he put me in the jailhouse
[01:03.63]And he threw the key away
[01:13.47]A jury found me guilty three
[01:15.63]Months later twelve evil
[01:18.83]Men with murder in their eyes
[01:22.69]They even took me out and said
[01:25.09]Now show us where you killed her
[01:27.17]And that wicked judge said now
[01:29.16]I here by sentence you to die
[01:33.46]But here I am far away from
[01:35.78]Austin prison my friend the
[01:38.82]Jailer handed me a file
[01:42.70]Now all I want between me and
[01:44.81]There are a lot of friendly people
[01:47.32]And miles and miles and miles and miles and
[01:50.09]Miles and miles and miles
