Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash - Committed to Parkview lyrics

(Johnny Cash)
There's a man across the hall
Who sit's 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Who have withdrawn from the rat race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
(Johnny Cash, Lead Willie Nelson, Harmony)
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
