Artist: George Jones
Has it[D] been a year since the last time I?ve seen her
My God I[G] could swear it was ten [D]
And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her
Is gonna kill [E7]me but I?ll drink till then [A]
I?ve been livin[G]g in hell with a bar for a cell
Still payi[D]ng for my cheating crime [G]
And I?ve[D] got a long way to go [A7]
Still doing time[D] [A7]
[CHORUS]
Still doing time[D]
In a honky tonk prison
[D7]Still doing time[G]
Where a man forgiven
My poor [A]heart is breaking
But the[G]re?s no escaping
Each morning[D] I wake up and I find [A7]
Still doing time[D]
Oh when your caught chea[G]ting twice
It?s twenty to life in a place [D]
Where the sun never shines [G]
And tomorrow [D]you?re gonna find me right here [A7]
Still doing time [D] [A7]
repeat chorus:
