C
Has it been a year since the last time I've seen her
F C
My God I could swear it was ten
And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her
D7 G7
Is gonna kill me but I'll drink till then
F
I've been living in hell with a bar for a cell
C F
Still paying for my cheating crime
C G7
And I've got a long way to go
C
Still doing time
C7 F
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
C G7
Each morning I wake up and I find
C
Still doing time
F
Oh when you're caught cheating twice
C
It's twenty to life in a place
F
Where the sun never shines
C G7
And tomorrow you're gonna find me right here
C
Still doing time
Repeat #3
