San Quentin Lyrics

Cover art for San Quentin lyrics by Johnny Cash

The lyrics on this song varies a little bit on different recordings, it seems.

These are the changes that I can remember:

"Cloistered" - "Hosted"

"Mister Congressman, you can't understand" - "Mister Congressman, why can't you understand"

The last line is sometimes "San Quentin, you've been living hell to me", I think.

This song reminds me of my school. I hate the damn place, and I'm sick of doing useless crap for no reason at all.

I should play this on the last-day-of-school-show-thing and change San Quentin to my school's name. That'd be sweet.
