Life to Go Lyrics

LIFE TO GO
I've got a sad sad story friends that I don't like to tell,
I had a wife and family when they locked me in a 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 just to see what I could see,
I met up with an old friend who just thought the world of me,
Well he bought me drinks and took me to every honky tonk in town,
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 yet if I hadn't used that knife,
Well I bet that little girl of mine don't realize or know,
Her Daddies's been here eighteen years, and still got life to go.
Well I'll bet there ain't a man outside who's spent this long in jail.
I'll be inside this prison 'til my body's just a shell.
No, I'm not free to go and see the one's that I love so.
I've been in here eighteen years and still have life to go
I still have life to go (repeat and fade)
