Johnny Cash - Nobody Cared [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
It all started out in Illinois with a woman that I thought was just my own
She saw a new tie and a new shirt kicked her heels and flipped her skirt
Slammed that door and left me standing all alone
They had a love nest in his new club there went my wife all over town
As I watched it I got green and with my drinking I got mean
Stuck a match and burned that club right to the ground

[Chorus]
And I spent nine months in the hole lying there in solitaire
And nobody cared nobody cared nobody cared

[Verse 2]
There was a screw out in the hall that had me backed up to the wall
Escorting me with a water pistol in that 36 degrees
With me shivering to my knees I am not going to forget about that water pistol
If I've been bad you think that'll make me better
If I've been a sinner you think that'll make me a saint no it isn’t
Freedom come and I found him made him take off
All his clothes and socks and shoes
Had him scrambling on the floor trying to make it to the door
Crying crawling screaming bloody murder too
Well I didn't really kill him though over his whole world there hung a paw
I made him bend over on his knees and to his screams of Owen please
Took my turpentine water pistol and I let him have it all

[Chorus]
Because I spent nine months
And nobody cared nobody cared nobody cared
