40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS
(The Dark Bob)

from the album, "When I Grow Up to Be a Man" (2001)

 

 

I got 40 days and 40 nights in Cabazon
Just for coming on
To the sheriffs wife

Yeah 40 days and 40 nights in Cabazon
Just for coming on
To the sheriffs wife


I’d been following the brown hills west to Cabazon
Well It’s been too long
And I guess it showed

I knew the line and I kept my mind on the setting sun
I didn’t stop for anyone
On the side of the road

I pulled into my favorite desert diner
There’s nothing finer
Than a home cooked meal

She spotted me and I spotted her right away
She said baby do you want to play
With the way I feel?

I got 40 days and 40 nights in Cabazon
Just for coming on
To the sheriffs wife

The judge said son you know that what you done was wrong
40 days might seem long
But I’ll spare your life


Between fantasy and reality the devil lurks
His magic works
And you just want more

Well I was lookin' rough but I was real polite and it was almost night
I knew something wasn’t right
That never stopped me before

Well I took a seat and it was real sweet to be by her side
She’d already lied
She took off her ring

Her pretty hair fell thru the air and down her back
It was nearly black
And I was thinkin’ of one thing…


I got 40 days and 40 nights in Cabazon
Just for coming on
To the sheriffs wife

Human rights and legal books don’t mean a thing
When you’re cheatin' on a wedding ring
And the judge was right

Yeah, 40 days and 40 nights in Cabazon
Just for coming on
To the sheriffs wife

The judge said son you know that what you done was wrong
40 days might seem long
But I’ll spare your life

Human rights and legal books don’t mean a thing
When you’re cheatin' on a wedding ring
And the judge was right
