Three Days Straight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm goin' down to the police station Just gonna turn myself in For all the bad things I've been doin' Maybe I won't do 'em again [Chorus 1] Seven old dogs in the backyard Six cat gut strings on an old guitar Three days straight I've been puttin' Everything I own in a mason jar [Verse 2] I went down to the Mobile Depot Wanted to see Mr. Garfield's train All I saw was people cryin' Creosote smoke and fallin' rain [Chorus 2] Seven last words to the faithful Six shades of gray on a piece of wood Three days straight I've been sinkin' I ain't been doin' what I should [Verse 3] I went down to see the fortune teller Was gonna get my future read She looked at my hand, she said "It's bad" She crossed her eyes and fell back dead [Chorus 3] Seven miles as the crow flies Six blackbirds that fly somewhere Three days straight I've been thirsty It's gettin' to where I don't care [Verse 4] So I've been standin' in muddy water Waitin' for the sun to shine I ain't been doin' what I oughta Crystal ball don't sympathize [Chorus 4] Seven times seven is forty-nine Six times nine is fifty-four Three days straight I've been thinkin' Well I ain't gonna do that no more
