Committed to Parkview Lyrics by The Highwaymen

Highwayman

1985

[Verse 1: 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 203
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
[Verse 2: Willie Nelson]
There's the girl in 307
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Who have withdrawn from the rat-race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
[Verse 3: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson & both]
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
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
Some came of their own good choosing
Some committed to Parkview
[Verse 4: Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, both]
They wake us about six-thirty
Just before the morning meal
While they're taking blood pressure
They ask us how we feel
And I always say "Fantastic!"
There ain't nothing wrong with me
And then they give me my injection
And I go right back to sleep
And my days are kind of foggy
And my nights are dreamy too
But they're takin' good care of me
Committed to Parkview
