$2000 Song Live by Kory Quinn Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2018

[Spoken]
Alright, let's get jolly again
Here's a song I wrote in jail
This song goes out to Sheriff Denis Stevenson
From the Eastland County, Texas
I spoke with him today, actually
He left his phone at home, and he put the-
He put the phone number for the jail and said
"If anybody needs to get a hold of me, gimme a call"
And so I decided to call him, a little bit ago
He says "Hello"
So I'll tell a little story about this
But the long story short is that
They left the evidence in the ashtray

[Verse 1]
And I spent a couple nights in the Eastland County jail
And I spent a couple days in the Eastland County jail
And I woke in the mornin' to the [?] guilt
Sheriff standin' there, and I was [?]
Two thousand dollars bail, two thousand dollars bail
[Verse 2]
And I spent a couple nights thinkin' bout what I'd done
Spent a couple days thinkin' bout what I'd done
But you can't run the night in the black and white
I guess right crime, wrong place. I was [?]
Two thousand dollars, son, two thousand dollar grandson

[Spoken]
See my grandmother, she loaned me two thousand dollars
I still owe her for that car loan
We got in there and he's just like "Hey boys know any Hank Williams" [i][Mumbling][/i]
We said 'yeah' so he disappeared for about 45 minutes
Comes back with a cardboard guitar, pint of whiskey, and a six pack of shiner
And, uh, said "For every Hank Williams song, you can have a sip of whiskey or a shiner"
So I played him the same two Hank Williams songs until all the alcohol was gone
He did not specify it. He called me a very good lawyer and I should probably represent myself. And, uh, anyways

[Verse 3]
And I spent a couple nights behind that steel bar door
And I spent a couple days behind that steel bar door
But you can't run the night in the Texas sky
I guess right crime, wrong place. I was [?]
Two thousand dollars more
