Lonely To The Brim

Start Stoppin'

Be Your Johnny Cash

15 to 20 is what they said
10 years ago
but it feels just like a lifetime
the way the years have rolled
they cut my hair and locked me up back in 1968
gave me a new ID and took my picture
now all i do is wait

im known by numbers every where i go
in the yard or in the commisary or cell block 24
my name was walter harper before this penitentiary
now they call me 45246 dash 7 zero 3

Its been 7 years since May stopped coming
my Rose was only 4
its seems ive missed so many years
and im only missing more
every day is just another day
every night is much the same
every morning here at roll call
they call your number not your name

im known by numbers every where i go
by the guards and by the warden, yeah by everyone i know
my name was walter harper, before this penitentiary
now they call me 45246 dash 7 zero 3

life here in this 6x8 
is such a living hell
every year i carve another line
on the wall of this old cell
if i die before im free
dont put no numbers on my headstone
they wont mean a damn thing when im gone

ill be known by numbers for every one to see
buried on that hill above these walls surrounding me
my name was walter harper, before this penitentiary
but theyed call me 45246 dash 7 zero 3

Known By Numbers

It's Not Love (But Its Getting There)

i swore that me and love were through
id locked my heart and thrown away the key
i went out to have a drink or two
she turned around and said what'll it be

she had dark hair and auburn eyes
i wondered what it was gonna take
for me to get a little closer
i think i just met my first mistake

	i think i just met my first mistake
	i seen the way this poor hearts gonna break
	but this is one im gonna have to make
	i think i just met my first mistake

as the night went on all bets were off
i forgot the promise that id made
she felt so warm lord she felt so soft
i just melted when she looked my way

my silver tounge was in overdrive
lord i just couldnt find the breaks
we were heading for a head on
i think i just met my first mistake
			 
	i think i just met my first mistake
	i seen the way this poor hearts gonna break
	but this is one im gonna have to make
	i think i just met my first mistake
