Life to Go

Life to Go - Stonewall Jackson

Written by：Jones/George

I've got a sad sad story friend

That I don't like to tell

I had a home and fam'ly

When they locked me in this cell

I've been in here eighteen years

That's 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 the old friend

Who just thought the world of me

He brought me drinks and he took me to

Every honky tonk in town

Then 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

Yes I'd be there with her yet

If I hadn't used the knife

Well 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

Well 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

No I can't be free to go and see

The ones that I love so

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

Yes
