Life To Go
I've got a sad, sad story friend, that I don't like to tell
I had a home and family when they locked me in this cell
I've been in here 18 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
To see what I could see
I met up with an old friend who 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 guess I 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 if I hadn't used the knife
Well, I bet that little girl of mine don't realize or know
Her daddy's been here 18 years, I've still got life to go
Well, I bet there's not one man outside that spent this long in jail
I'll be here in this prison 'til my body's just a shell
No, I can't be free to go and see the ones that I love so
I been in here 18 years, I've still got life to go
Yes, I've still got life to go
Yes, I've still got life to go
I had a home and family when they locked me in this cell
I've been in here 18 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
To see what I could see
I met up with an old friend who 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 guess I 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 if I hadn't used the knife
Well, I bet that little girl of mine don't realize or know
Her daddy's been here 18 years, I've still got life to go
Well, I bet there's not one man outside that spent this long in jail
I'll be here in this prison 'til my body's just a shell
No, I can't be free to go and see the ones that I love so
I been in here 18 years, I've still got life to go
Yes, I've still got life to go
Yes, I've still got life to go
