God Gives Us Life And Takes Us

When I Was Arrested I Was Dressed In Black

I Had A Song Called "folsom Prison Blues" That Was A Hit Just Before "i Walk The Line." And The People In Texas Heard About It At The State Prison And Got To Writing Me Letters Asking Me To Come Down There. So I Responded And Then The Warden Called Me And Asked If I Would Come Down And Do A Show For The Prisoners In Texas.

Life Is The Question And Life Is The Answer, And God Is The Reason And Love Is The Way.

I Worked There [on Pontiac] Three Weeks, Got Really Sick Of It, Went Back Home And Joined The Air Force.

For You I Know I'd Even Try To Turn The Tide.
