- Still Doin' Time LyricsHas it been a year since the last time I've seen her my God I could swear it was ten
And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her is gonna kill me but I'll drink till then
I've been livin' in hell with a bar for a cell still payin' for my cheatin' crime
And I got a long way to go still doin' time
Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison still doin' time where a man ain't forgiven
My poor heart is breakin' but there's no escapin'
Each morning I wake up and I find still doin' time
[ guitar + steel ]
When you're caught cheatin' twice it's twenty to life
In a place where the sun never shines
And tomorrow you're gonna find me right here still doin' time
Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison...
And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her is gonna kill me but I'll drink till then
I've been livin' in hell with a bar for a cell still payin' for my cheatin' crime
And I got a long way to go still doin' time
Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison still doin' time where a man ain't forgiven
Each morning I wake up and I find still doin' time
[ guitar + steel ]
When you're caught cheatin' twice it's twenty to life
In a place where the sun never shines
And tomorrow you're gonna find me right here still doin' time
Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison...
