The 99 year sentence refers to Cahses infamous time in jail and concert at San Quentin , he was the true outlaw Johnny 99
Wow, never picked up on that before. Now that you mention it I see Johnny Cash references and themes all over this song. The downtrodden man who goes crazy and kills someone, incarceration, dread, the mother begging not to take her boy away, alcohol abuse, etc. Thanks for the post.
