I spent my last dollar on some courage I could buy

Forty ounces of it at some truck stop in Ohio

Spent forty days walking and another forty high

Just for you to give me forty reasons for goodbye

Spent forty days drying out and forty 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

Forty ounces of it before you tell me goodbye

Still drove forty hours and I'd drive forty more

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

Forty ouncеs, forty minutes, forty days and forty ways

Forty reasons that you're lеaving and forty 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

Forty ounces of it at some truck stop in Ohio

Spent forty days walking and another forty high

Just for you to give me forty reasons for goodbye
