This is without a doubt one of the most gangster songs ever written
-
Singing this song in a prison with inmates as his audience is one of the most hardcore moments in music history. Another epic Johnny Cash moment is when he sang "Junkies Prayer" on live television.... the man will definitely always be one of the greats.

This makes me wanna rob my own House

You can be all kinds of gangster, but you’ll never be THIS gangster…singing a song about murder and cocaine inside a prison…to thunderous applause. What a fucking legend.
-
Only Johnny Cash can make a bunch of inmates scream like teenager girls at a Justin Bieber concert.
-
Fun fact, Merle Haggard was doing time in prison and actually saw Cash perform
-
"I thought I was her daddy but she had five more." Love that line.
-
- "Mr. Cash pls don't sing songs that reminds them they're in a prison." Looks at the yellow water - "What makes you think they forgot?"
-
Phoenix nailed it

I wish country music was still like this.

"I thought I was her daddy but she had five more"
