Three Days Straight

(album: Eternal And Lowdown - 2001)

I'm going down to the police station
Just go on and turn myself in
For all the bad things I been doing
Then maybe I won't do 'em again
7 old dogs in the backyard
6 cat gut strings on an old guitar
3 days straight I been putting
Everything I own in an old mason jar

I went down to the mobile depot
Wanted to see Mr. Garfields' train
All I saw was people crying
Creosote smoke and falling rain
7 last words to the faithful
6 shades of gray on a piece of wood
3 days straight I been sinking
I ain't been doing what I should

I went down to see the fortuneteller
Gonna get my future read
She looked at my hand, said "It's bad"
Crossed her eyes and fell back dead
7 miles as the crow flies
6 black birds flying somewhere
3 days straight I been thirsty, it's getting to where I don't care

So I been standing in muddy water
Waiting for the sun to shine
I ain't been doing what I ought to
Ol' crystal ball don't sympathize

7 x 7 is 49
6 x 9 is 54
3 days straight I been thinking
Well, I ain't gonna do that no more
