Doing [E]life here without par[B7]ole on the installment [E]plan LEAD: [E] [A] [E] [A] [C] [B7] [E] I've got [E]more friends on the inside [A]than I do I'm down the [E]street. [A]I'm not the kind of guy you want your folks to [E]meet. I [B7]busted up some bar, trashed somebody's car and it's [A]looking like a DUI a[C]gain. Doing [E]life in here without parole [B7]on the installment [E]plan [A]Came up short on child support now the [E]state supporting me. [A]Why you'd be waiting on a man with such potential baby [C]that's no surprise to [B7]me. I got a [E]new court date it [A]comes up late [E]baby you've got to under[A]stand.

[A] I'm doing [E]life in here without parole [B7]on the installment [E]plan.
