Life to Go Lyrics
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
