Lyrics
Intro: (Spoken)
Now my Grandpa, when I turned eighteen, the character that he is, he pulled me aside and he said, “son I’m gonna need you to get drunk the next 40 straight nights, it’ll make a man out of you!”.
Verse
A solemn promise
To my grandpa
On his death bed
After he shared an ancient wisdom
He said son, this life goes by too fast so at least once
Chorus
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
Every man needs to push his limits
Modern life has so few
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
It’ll make a man or break you quick
Cause unlike back in my time, there ain’t no War for you so
Verse
Grandpa said after a week
The weakness may set in
A desire to stop
After waking up in so many strange spots
Walking through near continuous pain
But son, you got push on
Bridge
A Yard
A Strange bed
The Jail
a few times
So much Vomit
your only friend
As you pass across the darkness
Of the crucible I’ve set for you
Damn it boy promise me you’ll
Chorus
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
Every man needs to push his limits
Modern life has so few
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
It’ll make a man or break you quick
Cause unlike back in my time, there ain’t no war for you so
Verse
Be a man boy or break on quick
It’s better for us all if
You a go on and figure it out
Burn out, die, break or maybe
Come out
Chorus
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
Every man needs to push his limits
Modern life has so few
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
It’ll make a man or break you quick
Cause unlike back in my time, there ain’t no war for you so
Outro
Ya hear me son
This is your war now
Ya hear me son
This is your war now
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
Get black out drunk 40 straight nights
