Number 37405 Lyrics - Two Lanes Of Freedom - Tim Mcgraw

Oh, he listens to the countdown, every Sunday morning 

From a cold solitary prison cell 

And the music from his radio is like freedom down a dirt toad 

Makes that eight by ten a brighter hill 

Before he started doing all the hard time that he's doing 

He was singing in them honky-tonks and dives 

He dreamed of being somebody, now he's number 37405 

Well she used to come and see him, every other weekend 

And bring him all the news from way back home 

It's been two birthdays since he's kissed her 

Five seconds since he's missed her 

Now the perfume on those letters ain't that strong

He's got too much time to think about the night he had too much to drink 

And all his buddies, they begged him not to drive 

Mr. Life of the Party, he's now number 37405 

Old judge on the bench said, "Son, your crime's got consequences." 

It's what he told him, fifteen years ago 

He took a life and that's a fact, he'd give his own to give it back 

Today's the day he finally gets parole 

He turns in them prison clothes, and stands there at the forkin' road 

And mama prays and waits while he decides 

And the angels close their eyes... 

Listens to the birds sing on a perfect autumn morning 

Just down the road, rings an old church bell
