Life To Go

I have a sad, sad story friends

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

And that's a long time I know

But time don't mean a thing to me

'Cause I got life to go

I went one night where the lights are bright

To see what I could see

I met up with an old friend

He thought the world of me

He bought me drinks and took me to

Every honky tonk in town

But words were said and now he's dead

I just had to bring him down

It has been a long time now

Since I heard from my wife

I guess I'd still be with her

If I hadn't used the knife

I bet that little girl of mine

Don't realize you know

Her daddy's been here eighteen years

And still got life to go

I'll bet there's not one man outside

Who's spent this long in jail

I'll be here in this prison

'Til my body's just a shell

I can't be free to go and see

The ones that I love so

Yes I've been in here eighteen years

And still got life to go

Still got life to go

Still got life to go

Still got life to go
