     D             A                  G               D
I've got a sad sad story friends that I don't like to tell

  D              A                G                 D
I had a home and family when they locked me in this cell

G                 A         G                    D
I've been in here 18 years, that's a long time I know

    D                 A                 G                D    D

I went one night where the lights were bright, to see what I could see

  D              A                    G                    D
I met up with an old friend there who thought the world of me

   G                       A                G             D
He bought me drinks and he took me to every honky tonk in town

    D                   A                     G                D     D
But words were said and now he's dead, I just had to bring him down
[Verse 3]
D             A                   G                  D
It has been a long time now since I've heard from my wife

  D                  A                 G               D
I guess I'd be there with her yet if I hadn't used the knife

  G               A             G               D
I bet that little girl of mine don't realize or know

Her daddy's been here 18 years and he's still got life to go

I bet there's not one man outside that's spent this long in jail

     D               A              G              D
I'll be here in this prison till my body is just a shell

  G                A              G                D
I can't be free to go and see the ones that I love so
