""That's the Way I Feel"" was recorded in September 1957 and was written by Jones, like most of the tracks on the album. Jones would write or co-write 10 of the songs and all of Side 2. ""Life to Go"" was one of Jones best compositions, written after Jones played the Old Time Fiddlers Convention in Crockett, Texas with Jackson and Ernest Tubb. There was a prison there and, while walking around the grounds with Jackson, they began chatting with an inmate. At one point they asked him how much time he had left to serve, to which the prisoner replied, "I been here for eighteen years and still got life to go." "His remark chilled me to the bone," Jones wrote in his 1996 autobiography "I Lived To Tell It All". "I had hated the prison, but I knew I'd be leaving. That man hated it more and knew he'd never leave. I wanted to get that prison out of my mind. But I couldn't." ""Don't Do This To Me"" was recorded on March 19, 1957 and written by Jones. ""Wandering Soul"" was recorded in September 1957 and was written by Bill Dudley and Jones.
