Old 97's

Confessional Boxing Lyrics

Writing my confession while I'm driving my car

Trying 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 inside while I wanted to crush

Everything on the inside

You got to 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 getting 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 got to go there first

They handed out new orders

Shut down the borders



Confessional boxing

I'm a professional

Confessional boxing

I'm a professional



(??) on a peppermint stick

Say your sorry better lay it on thick

Ain't no way to wriggle out of this one

Wind up kissing on a shotgun



Confessional boxing

I'm a professional

Confessional boxing

I'm a professional

Confessional boxing

I'm a professional



Try to (??) in the dead of the night

Diggin' in the console looking for a light

Cigarettes will 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
