40 Days

lyrics

40 days
I just did 40 days
The judge said what I did was wrong

She took my kids
And crossed the State line
Said she was going to start a new life

Well, I'm sinking down
I'm sinking down

40 days
I did another 40 days
For punching my best friend in the mouth

I drank too much
And then I lost my head
I can't remember what it is he said

Well, I'm sinking down, etc.

40 days
I did another 40 days
I took a 6-pack from a local store

Well, I had the dough
So I can't tell you why
I asked the judge for one more try

He said, son, you're sinking down, etc.

Momma, have mercy on me
I've gone and made you cry over me
But not for long

40 years
I just pulled 40 years
Looks like my best intentions were wrong

I'm going to die
In this head of mine
Before they drag my body from these walls

Oh, God, I'm sinking down, etc.
