40 Days Lyrics by The Black Lillies

Hard To Please

0

Forty days and forty nights
Flying down the highway, white line sideways leavin’ it all behind
We’re 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 Mama Nestor knows
Ol’ Blind Joe gonna sing you a song
Kick you in the teeth send you along
Ol’ Green River’s got a smell to it
Five a.m., why can’t we just quit?
Police man said there’s a change of plans
We’re going downtown boys, show me your hand
Forty days and forty nights
Flying down the highway, white line sideways leavin’ it all behind
We’re 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’re 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
Scarlet 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
Oh, think I’m gonna cry …
For forty days and forty nights
Forty days and forty nights …
Forty days and forty nights
Flying down the highway, white line sideways leavin’ it all behind
We’re gonna rock n’ roll till the break a dawn
Set ‘em up, knock ‘em down, sing our song
Forty days and forty nights
