Life to Go Songtext
von Billy Strings

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
