Life to Go - George Jones
I've got 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
That's a long time I know
But time don't mean a thing to me
Cause I've got life to go
I went one night where the lights were bright
To see what I could see
I met up with an old friend there
Who's thought the world of me
He brought me drinks and he 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've heard from my wife
I guess I'd be there with her yet
If I hadn't used the knife
I'll bet that little girl of mine
Don't realize or know
Her daddy's been here eighteen years
And still got life to go
I'll bet there's not one man outside
That's spent this long in jail
I'll be here in this prison
Till 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
I've still got life to go
Yes I've still got life to go
Yes I've still got life to go
Yes I've still got life to go
