G C

He could have been a quarterback

D G C D

on a college football team

G C

maybe a movie star signing autographs

D G C D

for a bunch of screamin' teens

G C

He leaned on the wrong foot too long

D G C D

And never caught his balance

G C

Cause in a big game with his body

D G C D

His mind couldn't meet the challenge

C

Now he's got three squares a day

D

Visits once a week

G C D

And the county colors to keep him warm

G C D

When he sleeps

His parents did the best they could

But even that wasn't enough

Cause all of the love and hop in the world

Just couldn't get him off

We used to wahoo beer together

Every now and again

But when I caught him holding my girlfriends hand

I should have know right then

Now he's got three squares a day

Visits once a week

And the county colors to keep him warm

When he sleeps

We caught him gettin drunk and readin the Bible

Just a month or so before

He tried to roll a friend of mine

At a bar just down the road

Well they said they found that poor girls body

Up in a ditch, in the mud

Now he's goin to hell in a county jail

Wonderin' what he's done

Now he's got three squares a day

Visits once a week

And the county colors to keep him warm

When he sleeps

When he sleeps
