Cold Hard Facts Of Life |
| I got back in town a day before I’d planned to I smiled and said I’ll sure surprise my wife |
| I don’t think I’ll phone, I’ll just head on home |
| But I didn’t know the cold hard facts of life |
| I passed a little wine store on the corner |
| I pictured pink champagne by candlelight |
| I stopped the car right then, got out and hurried in My mind not on the cold hard facts of life |
| A stranger stood there laughing by the counter |
| He said, I’ll take two bottles of your best |
| Her husband’s out of town and there’s a party |
| He winkled as if to say you know the rest |
| I left the store two steps behind the stranger |
| From there to my house his car stayed in sight |
| But it wasn’t till he turned into my drive that I learned |
| I was witnessing the cold hard facts of life |
| I drove around the block till I was dizzy |
| Each time the noise came louder from within |
| Then I saw our bottle there beside me I drank a fifth of courage and walked in Lord, you should’ve seen their frantic faces |
| As they screamed and cried, please put away the knife |
| I guess I’ll go to hell or I’ll rot here in this cell |
| But who taught who the cold hard facts of life |
| Who taught who the cold hard facts of life |
