Committed to Parkview

Johnny Cash

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

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

There's a girl in two oh three who stops by to visit me

And she talks about her songs

And the star that she should be

There are lots of special people stayin' in or passin' through

And for one thing or another committed to Parkview

Willie Nelson

There's the girl in three oh seven comin' down on Thorazine

And a superstar's ex drummer tryin' to kick Benzedrine

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

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

There's a bum from down on Broadway

And a few quite well to do

Who have withdrawn from the rat race

And committed to Parkview

Johnny Cash

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

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

Willie Nelson

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

They just brought him in this mornin' an attempted suicide

There are those who never made it those who did and now are through

Willie Nelson

Some came of their own good choosing

Some committed to Parkview

Willie Nelson

They wake us about six thirty just before the morning meal

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

Johnny Cash

And I always say Fantastic there ain't nothing wrong with me

Willie Nelson

And then they give me my injection

And I go right back to sleep

Johnny Cash

And the days are kind of foggy

And the nights are dreamy too

Johnny Cash Lead

Willie Nelson Harmony

But they're takin' good care of me committed to Parkview
