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 backs  and I was gone  gone gone
 Just  turned 18 and I'm lookin  at some real hard time
 Now I'm  seeing things in my  rearview mirror
 Now it's just  me and these  white lines
 Lord  only knows where I'm goin
 Can't remember  the places I've been
 Tell  me if I'll ever make  it home  again  whoa-o home again
 Apart from these troubles mother's all I leave behind
 Says I remind her of my father but hell if I know
 He left town when I was 3 years old
 She did the best she could I can't help but feel I'm doin her wrong
 She'll be much better off now that I'm gone
 I don't much feel like hangin around
 I  can't believe how bright the stars are shinin'
 And I can't  recall the last time I looked  into the sky
 And it seems  to me if I can make it cross  the county line
 Maybe  my life will turn out fine
 Ten  years in jail was the sentence  that they handed down

[G]Ten years in jail was the s[C]entence that they handed d[D]own

I di[G]dn't like the odds that I would l[C]ast that l[D]ong

They turned their b[G]acks and I was g[C]one gone g[D]one

J[G]ust turned 18 and I'm lo[C]okin at some real hard t[D]ime

Now I[G]'m seeing things in [C]my rearview m[D]irror

Now it's j[G]ust me and th[D]ese white l[G]ines

Lo[D]rd only knows where I'm g[G]oin

Can't re[D]member the places I've b[C]een

T[D]ell me if I'll ever m[C]ake it h[G]ome a[D]gain    whoa-o  home a[G]gain

Apart from these troubles mother's all I leave behind
Says I remind her of my father but hell if I know
He left town when I was 3 years old
She did the best she could I can't help but feel I'm doin her wrong
She'll be much better off now that I'm gone
I don't much feel like hangin around

I[D] can't believe how bright the stars are s[G]hinin'

And I [D]can't recall the last time I lo[G]oked into the s[C]ky

And it se[D]ems to me if I can make it cr[G]oss the county l[C]ine

May[D]be my life will turn out f[C]ine

T[G]en years in jail was the sen[C]tence that they handed d[D]own
