Ten years in jail was the sentence that they handed down
I didn't like the odds that I would last that long
They turned their back and I was gone, gone, gone
Just turned 18 and I'm looking at some real hard time
But I see it fadin' in my rear view mirror
Now its just me and these white lines
Lord only knows where I'm going
Can't remember the places I've been
Or tell me if I'll ever make it home again
Apart from these troubles a mother's all I leave behind
Says I remind her of my father but hell if I know
He left town when I was three years old
Oh, she did the best she could
I can't help but feel I'm doing her wrong
She'll be much better off now that I'm gone
I don't much feel like hanging around
I can't believe how bright the stars are shining
But then I can't recall the last time I looked into the sky
And it seems to me if I make it 'cross the county line
Maybe my life will turn out fine
Ten years in jail was the sentence that they handed down
