Still Doing Time
Still Doing Time
By George Jones
C
Has it been a year since the last time I’ve seen her
FC
My God I could swear it was ten
And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her
D7G7
Is gonna kill me but I’ll drink till then
F
I’ve been living in hell with a bar for a cell
CF
Still paying for my cheating crime
CG7
And I’ve got a long way to go
C
Still doing time
C7F
Still doing time in a honky tonk prison
Still doing time where a man ain't forgiven
G7
My poor heart is breaking
F
But there’s no escaping
CG7
Each morning I wake up and I find
C
Still doing time
F
Oh when your caught cheating twice
C
It’s twenty to life in a place
F
Where the sun never shines
CG7
And tomorrow you’re gonna find me right here
C
Still doing time
