    I've been listening to bluegrass for over 70 years, and it sure is good to see and hear the new generation such as Billy Strings and others, keeping bluegrass alive.

      I heard it on the radio growing up in the 60's. I got into rock and roll, but Nitty Gritty Dirt band and others kept the love of string music alive. This is a 'new birth of bluegrass' -- performers like Traveling McCourys, Molly Tuttle, I'm With Her, Chris Thile and the bluegrass jam bands are bringing it into a new day. And no more wierd-looking suits on stage, lol.

      Tony Rice was on a whole other level! But what I loved about him was how effortless his playing was. Not to mention his absolute badassery on stage. His stage presence was just badass...no other way to say it lol. Something about a guy coming out in a suit and tie and just shredding bluegrass tunes. Billy has his own style for sure which makes him equally great and brings so much energy to the stage. So basically what I'm saying is they're both badass lol.

    [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 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
    I took that little pop and sucked until my mind was spun
    I got twenty years to sit and think of what I've done
    [Chorus]
    This life of sin 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]
    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 by a number, not a name
    [Chorus]
    This life of sin 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
