Johnny Cash — Where the Devil never sleeps.

I'll have to hap a freight train I rather rails from where I am To the golf of Mexico, the Muscle Shoals Alabama. (Name of a state ) A felon Benton(name of a village)grave,condemned to walk a branded nam.(It means dying in war) Thirty years of hard time, they cut you loose and set you free There is bond to be a price for, every promise you don't keep And I paid mine in that hellhole, where the Devil never sleeps The warden said to me,"Boy we are sympathetic to your cause." As they majored me for my long, payne box.(It means checking his size for his coffin.) And for that ball in chain,skin tight around the clock.(It means limited both in time and freedom and also it refers to a short life.) A prisoner sees his dreams in the shade of a key I saw mine from that hole, folded hands on bended knees. ( disappointment before a death that you know it's about to happen.) Where there is no forgiveness, nor honor among thieves.(the execution room and the one who pulls the trigger.) Bad news come in threes To no good, lying, killing thieves Just one more branded man With the mark of the beast Thirty years of hard time They cut you loose and set you free There is bond and a price for every promise you don't keep I paid mine in that hellhole Where the Devil never sleeps Wailing and gnashing of teeth Where the Devil never sleeps
