Lyrics:

I spent my last dollar on some courage I could buy
40 ounces of it at some truck stop in Ohio
Spent 40 days walking and another 40 high
Just for you to give me 40 reasons for goodbye
Spent 40 days drying out and 40 days sober
Smokin' cigarettes and quotin' Bible verses on the sofa
You said, "All's not lost, just an eye for an eye"
So, I carried my cross to the bar last night
Say why, yeah, say why
Yeah, say why, say why
I spent my last dollar on some courage I could buy
40 ounces of it before you tell me goodbye
Still drove 40 hours and I'd drive 40 more
40 days in the desert just to wind up at your door
40 ounces, 40 minutes, 40 days and 40 ways
40 reasons that you're leaving and 40 more you'll stay
Say why, say why
Say why
No
Say why, say why
Say why, say why
Say why, say why
Say why, say why
I spent my last dollar on some courage I could buy
40 ounces of it at some truck stop in Ohio
Spent 40 days walking and another 40 high
Just for you to give me 40 reasons for goodbye
