Lyrics of
County Colors

Well, I guess I could’ve been a quarterback
On a college football team
Maybe a movie star signing autographs
For a bunch of screamin' teens
He leaned on the wrong foot too long
And never caught his balance
'Cause in a big game with his body,
His mind couldn't meet the challenge

Now he's got three squares a day
Visits once a week
And the county colors to keep him warm
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

Well they 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 say they found that poor girls body
Rolled up in a ditch, in a rug
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
When he sleeps
When he sleeps
