Johnny Cash The Wall Lyrics

"(1)
There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten, but the strangest of them
all,
was a friend of mine who spent his time starin at the wall. Starin at the
wall. As he looked at the wall so strong and tall, you could hear him softly
curse: Nobody at all ever climbed that wall, but I'm gonna be the first. I'm
gonna be the first. Well, the warden walked by and said son, don't try, I'd
hate to see you fall, there is no doubt they'd carry you out if you ever
touch that wall. If you ever touch that wall. Well, a year's gone by since he
made his try, but I can still recall how hard he tried and the way he died,
but he never made that wall. He never made that wall. Well, there's never
been a man who ever shook this can, but I know a man who tried. The
newspapers called it a jail break plan, but I know it was suicide. I know it
was suicide.
