[Verse]
D A G D
I've got a sad sad story friends that I don't like to tell,
D A G D
I had a wife and family when they locked me in a cell,
G A G D
I've been in here eighteen years, a long, long time I know,
D A G D
But time don't mean a thing to me, 'cause I've got life to go.
D A G D
Well I went one night where the lights were bright just to see what I could see,
D A G D
I met up with an old friend who just thought the world of me,
G A G D
Well he bought me drinks and took me to every honky tonk in town,
D A G D
Words were said, and now he's dead, I just had to bring him down.
D A G D
Well it's been a long long time now, since I've heard from my wife,
D A G D
I know I'd be there with her yet if I hadn't used that knife,
G A G D
Well I bet that little girl of mine don't realize or know,
D A G D
Her Daddies's been here eighteen years, and still got life to go.
D A G D
Well I'll bet there ain't a man outside who's spent this long in jail.
D A G D
I'll be inside this prison 'til my body's just a shell.
G A G D
No, I'm not free to go and see the one's that I love so.
D A G D
I've been in here eighteen years and still have life to go
G D
I still have life to go (repeat and fade)
