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
