I remember that he got religion in his last years. Actually always had a bit of it even when sinning.
The movie didn’t even mention it as far as I know.

This is an interesting tune. The protagonist is in prison in Folsom, Calif. for a crime committed in Nevada--a different jurisdiction. The prison is near a railroad along which passing trains head "on down to San Antone." However, "San Antone," aka San Antonio Valley, about 100 miles southwest of Folsom, has never had rail service.

His wife, June Carter Cash, whom I consider a gift from God to Johnny, took hold of him and introduced him to the love of Jesus. Mama Maybelle surely had some influence, as well.
