40 Days Songtext
von The Black Lillies

Forty days and forty nights
Flying down the highway white line sideways leavin' it all behind
We gonna rock 'n' roll till the break a dawn
Set 'em up knock 'em down sing our song
Forty days and forty nights

Mmm beep beep back it up real slow
Pull up a chair cause momma Nestor knows
Ol Blind Joe gonna sing you a song
Kick you in the teeth send you along

Forty days and forty nights
Flying down the highway white line sideways leavin' it all behind
We gonna rock 'n' roll till the break a dawn
Set 'em up knock 'em down sing our song
Forty days and forty nights

Ol Green River's got a smell to it
Five AM why can't we just quit?
Police man said there's a change of plans
We're going downtown boys, show me your hands


Forty days and forty nights
Flying down the highway white line sideways leavin' it all behind
We gonna rock 'n' roll till the break a dawn
Set 'em up knock 'em down sing our song
Forty days and forty nights

Buy me a bouquet up in Boise town
Gotta see your baby when you come around
Swing her to the left, swing her to the right
Drinks on the house... you only get one night

Forty days and forty nights
Flying down the highway white line sideways leavin' it all behind
We gonna rock 'n' roll till the break a dawn
Set 'em up knock 'em down sing our song
Forty days and forty nights

Lookin' for a win, tryin' to find a way
Scarlett called up said that she can pay
High on a mountain up in the sky
From here on out... I think we're gonna fly.

Down to The River of Sorrows where the spirits flow
Cold cold water gonna soothe your soul
Sing and dance, rock all night
Hangin' by a thread... in the spirit's light


I seen the devil and my lord settin side by side
Up on the rock over the countrywide
Playin' cards, shootin dice
It's just like I thought now... I think I'm gonna cry
