Billy Strings
Dust in a Baggie (Live at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, Wilkes-Barre, PA, 12/15/2023)
[Verse 1]
I ain't slept in seven days, haven't ate in three
Methamphetamine has got a damn good hold of me
My tweaker friends have got me to the point of no return
I just took the lighter to the bulb and watched it burn

[Chorus]
This life of sin (Life of sin)
Has got me in (Has got me in)
Well, it's got me back in prison once again
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie

[Verse 2]
Well, if I would have listened to what mom and papa said
I wouldn't be locked up in prison, troubled in the head
Well, I took that little pop and sucked until my mind was spun
And I got twenty years to sit and think of what I've done

[Chorus]
This life of sin (Life of sin)
Has got me in (Has got me in)
Well, it's got me back in prison once again
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
[Verse 3]
Well, sometimes I sit and wonder where my little life went wrong
These old jailhouse blues have got me singing this old song
My life is a disaster, Lord, and I feel so ashamed
In here where they call me by a number, not a name

[Chorus]
This life of sin (Life of sin)
Has got me in (Has got me in)
Well, it's got me back in prison once again
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie

[Verse 4]
I ain't slept in seven days, I haven't ate in three
This methamphetamine has got a damn good hold of me
And my tweaker friends have got me to the point of no return
I just took the lighter to the bulb and watched it burn

[Chorus]
This life of sin (Life of sin)
Has got me in (Has got me in)
Well, it's got me back in prison once again
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
