Walking Papers Lyrics - Dierks Bentley

1 (Ryan McCord / Dierks Bentley)

2 I never thought I'd see the day

3 That she'd set me free

4 Cause you know that little ring on my finger

5 Always felt like a ball and chain to me

6 All those threats I made about leavin

7 Suddenly became reality

8 She released me from my death row sentence

9 And said we'll sign the final papers in a week

10 Chorus

11 She handed me my walking papers

12 And said you're free to go

13 And celebrating felt in order

14 For I had escaped that prison of a home

15 But sittin in this old tavern

16 Surrounded by my good timing friends

17 I see I'll never make it on the outside

18 And I'm thinkin bout how I'm gonna break back in

19 Daylight found me sleepin in my car

20 On the other side of her street

21 And the grass that used to be my front yard

22 Had never before looked so green

23 And I'm tempted to break for the front door

24 But I'm sure she'd sic the dogs on me

25 Cause it looks like she's got a new inmate

26 Cause there's a pickup in the drive I've never seen

27 Chorus

28 I'm thinkin about how I'm gonna break back in
