Still Doing Time

George Jones

 

       D

Has it been a year since the last time I’ve seen her

        G                                     D

My God I could swear it was ten

 

And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her

              E7                                      A

Is gonna kill me but I’ll drink till then

                 G

I’ve been living in hell with a bar for a cell

          D                                G

Still paying for my cheating crime

               D                          A7                        D      A7

And I’ve got a long way to go - Still doing time

 

<CHORUS>

                    D

Still doing time - In a honky tonk prison

D7              G

Still doing time - Where a man ain’t forgiven

        A                                               G

My poor heart is breaking - But there’s no escaping

            D                                    A7                        D

Each morning I wake up and I find - Still doing time

 

 

                        G

Oh when your caught cheating twice - It’s twenty to life

          D                                           G

In a place where the sun never shines

             D                                                          A7                        D        A7

And tomorrow you’re gonna find me right here - Still doing time
