Say Why

I spent my last dollar on some courage I could buy

40 ounces of it at some truck stop in Ohio

Spent 40 days walking and another 40 high

Just for you to give me 40 reasons for goodbye

Spent 40 days drying out and 40 days sober

Smokin' cigarettes and quotin' Bible verses on the sofa

You said, "All's not lost, just an eye for an eye"

So, I carried my cross to the bar last night

Say why, yeah, say why

Yeah, say why, say why

I spent my last dollar on some courage I could buy

40 ounces of it before you tell me goodbye

Still drove 40 hours and I'd drive 40 more

40 days in the desert just to wind up at your door

40 ounces, 40 minutes, 40 days and 40 ways

40 reasons that you're leaving and 40 more you'll stay

Say why, say why

Say why

No

Say why, say why

Say why, say why

Say why, say why

Say why, say why

I spent my last dollar on some courage I could buy

40 ounces of it at some truck stop in Ohio

Spent 40 days walking and another 40 high

Just for you to give me 40 reasons for goodbye
