[F] [C]
[Bb] [F]
I've got a sad, sad [C] story, friends, [Bb] that I don't like [F] to tell.
I had a home [C] and family when [Bb] they locked me in [F] this cell.
[C] [Bb] I've been in [C] here 18 years, [Bb] that's a long time, [F] I know.
But time don't mean [C] a thing to me, [Bb] cause I've got [F] life to go.
I went one night [C] where the lights were bright, [Bb] to see what I [F] could see.
I met up with [C] an old friend there, [Bb] who thought the world [F] of me.
[Bb] He bought me drinks [C] and he took me to [Bb] every honky-tonk [F] in town.
But word first said, [C] and now he's dead, I [Bb] just had to bring [F] him down.
It has been [C] a long time now [Bb] since I've heard from [F] my wife.
I guess I'd be [C] there with her yet, [Bb] if I hadn't [F] used the knife.
[C] [Bb] I bet that little [C] girl of mine [Bb] don't realize [F] and know,
her daddy's been here [C] 18 years [Bb] and he's still got [F] life to go.
I bet there's not [C] one man outside [Bb] that's spent this long [F] in jail.
I'll be here in [C] this prison till [Bb] my body is [F] just a shell.
[C] [Bb] I can't be free [C] to go and see [Bb] the ones that I [F] love so.
Yes, I've been in [C] here 18 years [Bb] and I've still got [F] life to go.
Yes, I've [Bb] still got [F] life to go.
[Bb] Yes, I've still got [F] life to go.
