Dust in a Baggie
Billy Strings Lyrics

This lifetime of sin has were given me in
Well, it's got me back in jail as soon as again
I used my simplest telephone name to touch my daddy

Well, if I'd have listened to what mother and papa said
I wouldn't be locked up in jail, bothered in the top
I took that little pop and suck till my thoughts was spun
I were given twenty years to sit and bring to mind what I've completed

This life of sin has got me in
Well, it's got me again in prison as soon as again
I used my best phone name to contact my daddy
I got 20 long years for some dust in a baggie

Sometimes, I sit down and sweetness the place my little life went unsuitable
These outdated jailhouse blues have were given me singing this outdated song
My existence is a disaster, Lord and I think so ashamed
In here the place they call me by means of a number, now not a identify

This life of sin has were given me in
Well, it's got me again in prison as soon as once more
I used my simplest telephone call to contact my daddy
I got 20 lengthy years for some dust in a baggie

I used my handiest phone call to contact my daddy
I were given 20 long years for some dust in a baggie
