Committed To Parkview lyrics

Johnny Cash











Verse 1:



A/ E/



There's a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor



E/ A/



He thinks he's Hank Williams hear him singing through the door



D/ A/



There's a girl in 203,who stops by to visit me



B/ E/



And she talks about her songs and the star that she should be



A/ D/



There are lots of special people staying in or passing through



A/ D/ A/ D/ A



And for one thing or another,committed to Parkview











Verse 2:



A E



There's a girl in 307,coming down on thorazine



A



And a superstar's ex-drummer trying to kick benzedrine



D A



There's a boy just below me who's the son of some well-known



B E



He was brought in by his mother 'cause his daddy's always gone



A D



There's a bum from down on Broadway and a few quite well to dues



A D A D A



Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview











Verse 3:



A E



There's a girl who cries above me,loud enough to wake the dead



A



They don't know what she has taken that has scrambled up her head



D A



There's a writer and a singer who has tried and tried and tried



B E



They just brought him in this morning an attempted suicide



A D



There are those that never made it,those that did but now are through



A D A D A



Some came of their own good chosing,some committed to Parkview











Verse 4:



A E



They wake us about 6:30,just before the morning meal



A



While they're taking blood pressure,they ask us how we feel



D A



And i always say fantastic there ain't nothing wrong with me



B E



And then they give me my injection and i go right back to sleep



A D



The days are kind of foggy and the nights are dreamy too



A D A D A



But they're taking good care of me,committed to Parkview
