I've got a sad sad story friend that |
|
I don't like to tell |
|
I had a home and fam'ly when they locked me in this cell |
|
I've been in here eighteen years a long long time |
|
I know But time don't mean a thing to me cause |
|
I've got life to go |
|
Well I went one night where the lights were bright just to see what |
|
I could see |
|
I met up with the old friend who just thought the world of me |
|
Well he brought me drinks and he took me to every honky tonk in town |
|
Then words were said and now he's dead |
|
I just had to bring him down |
|
Well it's been a long long time now since |
|
I've heard from my wife |
|
I know I'd be there with her yet if |
|
I hadn't used the knife |
|
Well I'll bet that little girl of mine don't realize or know |
|
Her daddy's been here eighteen years and still got life to go |
|
Well I'll bet there's not one man outside that's spent this long in jail |
|
I'll be here in this prison till my body's just a shell |
|
No I can't be free to go and see the ones that |
|
I love so |
|
I've been in here eighteen years |
|
I've still got life to go |
|
Yes I've still got life to go oh |
|
I've still got life to go |
