Along with songs that have “jail” or “prison” in the title I’m counting down favorites that have a jail or prison setting. Some are debatable (such as yesterday’s entry), and some are blatantly obvious. For a case of the latter....today’s song!
#9: I Got Stripes - Johnny Cash
There are two artists who’ve made both sides of this countdown. I’m sure you know what’s coming from this guy on the other half of the countdown....and I won’t disappoint.
Meanwhile, here’s an early career tune that takes a semi-lighthearted look at things.
Enjoy your Monday. At least you got some Cash today.
I Got Stripes
Written by Johnny Cash and Charlie Williams
Recorded by Johnny Cash
Released as a single, 1959
