This live version of "Fort Worth Blues" during a Townes Van Zant tribute has Nanci Griffith in tears.

Another one by Mr Steve Earle
Billy Austin
About a young native man who while robbing a gas station kills the clerk, he calls the cops and gives himself up right away...however he gets mistreated by the justice system and ends up with the death senctence
The song is about his walk too the chair, true story
Steve was there watched die, very powerful last line
Could you pull that switch yourself sir?
With sure and steady hand
And than could you still tell yourself sir
That your better than I am
