Drinking And Driving — текст песни (Stonewall Jackson)

I won`t be home anymore I`ll be so far away
In my lonely prison cell until my dying day
Friend I don`t want to bore ye or waste much of your day
But I`ve got a sad story I`d like to tell about the life that just wasted away
I had a good home and a family one time and riches of diamonds and jewels
But one night out on a party my friends I broke one of God`s golden rules
Thy shall not kill was deep in my heart that day
But drinking too much driving too fast I took three lives away
So then I was trialed and convicted and the judge said so mercy on me
He said we was makin` an example so I was sent in this penitentary
Ninety-mine years was my sentence never no more will I roam
Nover to be with my loved ones so dear no place but this cell to call home
I`m alone in my shame and this is writen deep in my soul
For the price I must pay for driking and driving can`t be paid in silver and gold
I can`t see my little darling or watch my babies at play
Three lives I took while drinking and driving out on the highway one day
