County Colors
[Verse 1]
He could have 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

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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Now he's got three squares a day
Visits once a week
And the county colors to keep him warm
When he sleeps
[Verse 3]
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

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

[Outro]
When he sleeps
