[Verse 1]
        G
I ain't slept in seven days
C              G
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 my lighter to the bulb and watched it burn

[Chorus]
             C/G                            G
This life of sin, (life of sin) it's got me in (got me in)
          G                           D
Lord 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
Well, if I would have listened to what
C             G
Mom and Papa said
  G                                               D
I wouldn't be locked up in prison troubled in the head
       G                               C                G
Lord I took that little pop and suck until my mind was spun
G                             D                  G
I got twenty years to sit and think of what I've done

[Chorus]
             C/G                            G
This life of sin, (life of sin) it's got me in (got me in)

Lord it's got me back in prison once again

[Verse 3]
    G
Sometimes I sit and wonder
         C                G
Where my little life went wrong
G                                                    D
These old jailhouse blues have got me singing this old song
        G
Well my life is a disaster
    C           G
and I feel so ashamed
G                               D            G
In here where they call me by a number not a name

[Chorus]
             C/G                            G
This life of sin, (life of sin) it's got me in (got me in)

Lord it's got me back in prison once again

I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
      G                          D         G
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie

[Outro]
  G                          C
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
      G                          D         G       G
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
