The Cold Hard Facts Of Life

In the style of

Porter Wagoner

Lyrics

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
for 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 winked 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

and then
i saw our bottle
there beside me
and i drank
a fifth of courage
and walked in

lord
you should have seen
their frantic faces
they screamed
and cried
please put away
that 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
