Verse 1

G                            C              G
I ain't slept in seven days, haven't ate in three
G                                           D
Methamphetamine has got a damn good hold of me
G                                     C             G
My tweaker friends have got me to the point of no return
G                              D                   G
I just took the lighter to the bulb and watched it burn

Chorus

C                G
This life of sin This life of sin
C            G
Is got me in Is got me in
D
Well it's got me back in prison once again
G                            C
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
G                                D         G
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie

Verse 2

G                                     C            G
Well if I would have listened to what Mom and Papa said,
G                                                  D
I wouldn't be locked up in prison, troubled in the head
G                          C                        G
I took that little pop and sucked until my mind was spun
G                             D                  G
I got twenty years to sit and think of what I've done

(Chorus)

Verse 3

G                                        C                G
Well sometimes I sit and wonder where my little life went wrong,
G                                                      D
These old jailhouse blues have got me singing this old song
G                                C          G
My life is a disaster, Lord, and I feel so ashamed
G                            D             G
In here where they call by a number, not a name
