Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I ain't slept in seven days, haven't ate in three
Methamphetamine has got a damn good hold of me
My tweaker friends have got me to the point of no return
I just took the lighter to the bulb and watched it burn
[Verse 2]
This life of sin has got me in
Well, it's got me back in prison once again
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
[Verse 3]
Well, if I would have listened to what Mama and Papa said
I wouldn't be locked up in prison, troubled in the head
I took that little pop and sucked until my mind was spun
I got twenty years to sit and think of what I've done
[Verse 4]
This life of sin has got me in
Well, it's got me back in prison once again
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
[Verse 5]
Sometimes I sit and wonder where my little life went wrong
These old jailhouse blues have got me singin' this old song
My life is a disaster, Lord, and I feel so ashamed
In here where they call me by a number, not a name
[Verse 6]
This life of sin has got me in
Well, it's got me back in prison once again
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
[Verse 7]
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
