Drinking And Driving Lyrics - 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
