Walking Papers Lyrics - Singles - Dierks Bentley

(Ryan McCord / Dierks Bentley) 

I never thought I'd see the day 

That she'd set me free 

Cause you know that little ring on my finger 

Always felt like a ball and chain to me 

All those threats I made about leavin 

Suddenly became reality 

She released me from my death row sentence 

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

Chorus 

She handed me my walking papers 

And said you're free to go 

And celebrating felt in order 

For I had escaped that prison of a home 

But sittin in this old tavern 

Surrounded by my good timing friends 

I see I'll never make it on the outside 

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

Daylight found me sleepin in my car 

On the other side of her street 

And the grass that used to be my front yard 

Had never before looked so green 

Photos 

And I'm tempted to break for the front door 

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

Cause it looks like she's got a new inmate 

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

Chorus 

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