Old 97's - Twelfth

Confessional Boxing

Writin' my confession while drivin' my car
Tryin' to get away, but I didn't get far
Just around the corner from my in-laws
I make a pretty crummy outlaw

I thought I was funny living life like a lush
Laughing outside while I wanted to crush
Everything on the inside
You gotta keep it on the inside

Confessional Boxing
I'm a professional
Confessional Boxing
I'm a professional

Money in the hand starts a buzzin' in the brain
Having her here's like gettin' hit by a train
I had a four-leaf clover
But those days are over

Belinda says "Heaven is a place on Earth"
So is Hell, you gotta go there first
They handed out new orders
To shut down the borders

Confessional Boxing
I'm a professional
Confessional Boxing
I'm a professional (Hey)

Teeth Jane's breakin' on a peppermint stick
Say you're sorry, better lay it on thick
Ain't no way to wriggle out of this one
Wind up kissin' on a shotgun

Confessional Boxing
I'm a professional
Confessional Boxing
I'm a professional

Confessional Boxing
I'm a professional
Confessional Boxing
I'm a professional

Drivin' underwater in the dead of the night
Diggin' in the console looking for a light
Cigarettes will be the death of me now

Life will be
The death of me
Life will be
The death of me
Life will be
The death of me
