McGraw, Tim - Number 37405 Lyrics
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 road
Makes that eight by ten a brighter hell
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
Mr. Life of the Party is 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 fork in the 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

i think if you drink and drive you should get a fine not jail time that exsecive
Brenden Meints False. Drinking and driving can kill people. In the song, he accidentally killed someone because he was drunk.
you my friend are a fucking idiot if your dumb enough to drink and drive you should get more than jail time it should be punishable by death if you injure someone while your drunk and driving to many people are killed because of dumb fucks drinking and driving
I got a friend in prison. N this song made me cry. A great country song
Tim McGraw. I. Love. This.
Song with message. It's true life you
Keep. It. Up
wow very sad song wow
Such a sad and moving song.
I love this song. We need to help the people who are behind bars
my mom works at a prison n dad did. N got a very clear friend, like family in prison. I wish I could get him out now. Prison is tough
For the families that had someone die at the hands of a drunk driver? Families that had a child that will never walk again? You gonna say the great ole system is wrong then? If you're old enough to drink, get drunk, and drive, you're old enough to know better and old enough to pay the price. Doesn't matter how old you are. 4 or 40, you hurt my boy I'm getting my payback. May not be right by the law, but it's right by me. You don't want your kids in trouble, do a better job as a parent.
NUMBER 211469 VAUGHN.. SOMEDAY BABY I WILL BE THERE TO WALK YOU OUT THOSE DAMN DOORS
Wow that was screwed up, lol. Hope people get the point.
Pick and choose your friends wisely these days people. does not take much for a young man or woman to get tied up in this "Great Ole' System", problem is getting out of it. Leave minors alone big boys. Pick on people your own size and let parents deal with the rest instead of draining families of money too. Costs Mom and Dad, Single Dad, Single Mom to much momey. Where do them $200+ fines go to anyway that parents have to pay for a child caught with tobacco? Crooked mayors or politicians?
Jim C. Here here I agree totally
Love you so much son!!! Some day you will know.
Great artist, roll on 16th March myself and herself heading for O2 London
Our Marine Special Ops Vet, who suffers badly from acute combat induced PTSD, did 200+ combat missions in Afghanistan. The trauma to his precious soul has manifested itself in many poor decisions, substance abuse, and 4 1/2 months confinement in the Vista, CA "vet treatment module'. The love of his life broke up with him one week before he was let out of incarceration. He suffers from depression, intense anger, and has suicidal ideations. This song takes me back to when the phone would ring and it would be the auto jail recording. Those conversations were incredibly painful as many others have been when he has discussed what he did, what he saw, what he experienced. We have millions of wonderful Americans locked behind bars because of mental health and substance abuse problems. This system does not work, it's not a deterrent, it's cruel, and hideously expensive. To those who feel the need for revenge, I understand why but that is not how an advanced, civil and compassionate society should be. It's way, way past time for us to abolish a system built on punishment and revenge and replace it with one with adequate resources to treat and rehabilitate. Pray hard for moments of peace and joy for those behind bars.
