Life to Go

Life to Go - George Jones (喬治·瓊斯)

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
