The Wall - Johnny Cash

There’s a lot of strange men in cell block ten

But the strangest of em' 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 heard 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

For there is no doubt they’ll carry you out

If you ever touch that wall, if you ever touch that wall»

Well a years went by since he

Well a years gone

Well a years 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 shook this camp

But I knew a man who tried

The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan

But I know it was suicide, I know it was suicide
