10 Day Rut

I heard the sirens in the distance so I turned my head
Seems like they’re getting closer with every breath
For two weeks straight I’ve been cutting it up
Will I ever get outta this 10 day rut?
The wheels ain’t catching they’re just spitting mud
Will I ever get outta this 10 day rut?
How am I gonna get outta this 10 day rut?
I was holding up the bar with ol' Wino Joe
Who holds sorrow in his pocket like it’s a chunk of gold
He said: Go on home boy, or you’ll end up like us
And we all started out with a 10 day rut
I knocked on her door till my knuckles were raw
I called her name until I couldn’t lift my jaw
From the window she said: I ain’t letting you up
Not till you dig yourself outta this 10 day rut
