There's a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor,He thinks he's Hank Williams; hear him singing 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 staying in or passing through:And for one thing or another, committed to Parkview.There's a girl in 307, coming down on Thorazine.And a superstar's ex-drummer trying 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his mother, 'cos his daddy's always gone.There's a bum from down on Broadway and then a few quite well-to-do's:Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview.There's a girl who cries above me, loud enough to wake the dead.They don't know what she has taken that has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 morning, an attempted suicide.There are those that never made it, those that did but now are through:Some came of their own good choosing: some committed to Parkview.They wake us about 6: 30, 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 taking good care of me: committed

God, this song is just so tough, when you really listen to the lyrics. I know a number of people who were "commited to Parkview", for whatever they were supposed to have done. To keep them "calm and quiet", they just injected them with drugs. Please, stop this, whoever can. Some folks are just different, even if they are forced to wake at 6.30, they should be regarded and loved. Just 'cos they are different, and I am no bleeding heart.

@JimCubb Johnny Cash wrote this song back in the day for his friend, Porter Waggoner. Porter actually was committed to Parkview (in Nashville) back in the 60's. He always wanted to record it, but it was too personal. He finally did it and he makes it work.

Wonderful Song ! A Classic ! This is by far the best version ! They were a great group ! I think the reason they sing it so well is because of their own personal experiences ! Thanks so much for uploading ! 5*****+

@JimCubb Yes, Cash did write it. Marty Stuart: “Cash gave me a cassette of the song in 1981 and asked me to get it to Porter,” Stuart continues. “I never got around to it until we started collecting songs for this project. I searched my warehouse and found the envelope with ‘Committed to Parkview’ on it, with a note from John to Porter. Twenty-five years after I was supposed to and three years after his death, I did what I told John I would do. I delivered the song, and Porter loved it.”

@shelton705 you don't. You learn coping techniques. Hard, but true.
