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 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, to see what I could see
I met up with an 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 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 I 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 'til 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 still got life to go
Yes, I still got life to go, yes, I still got life to go
