      It's truth. His stepdad, a bluegrass picker in his own right, career cut short by busted w/M. 20 yrs. Billy's 4 when Barber taught him BG. Billy was young tween and with guitar sought other musicians; metal, rock, southern rock, and bluegrass. Barber's out now and you can find short clips--they just made album together, too, of Billy and dad playing together. Too sweet and I bawl every time and get Hope. XO! my son watched this on way to rehab. thought he'd just like the pickin, cause he plays and tears going down his cheeks. He's 7 mo clean today. He's done the work, God, and his new Brothers, but this song kicked in more Inspiration at the right time. Grateful Mama~

    [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

    I went to Chicago over the weekend and introduced my 10 year old little sister to this kind of music. Never heard country or bluegrass in her life, but these 3 minutes listening to this, along with other songs with the same sound and beat have pretty much converted her in a sense. Now I'm just waiting for those Banjos to start ringing all through that house instead of the same beat people used in their music since 2008
