The postman delivered
|
A "past due" bill notice
|
The alarm clock rang two hours late
|
The garbage man left all the trash
|
On the sidewalk
|
And the hinges fell off of the gate
|
|
And this morning at breakfast
|
I spilled all the coffee
|
And I opened the door on my knee
|
But the last thing I needed
|
The first thing this morning
|
Was to have you walk out on me
|
|
Last night you came home late
|
And I knew you'd been drinking
|
By that old mellow look on your face
|
I thought, "It don't matter
|
'Cause it's the holiday season"
|
And you fill such a big empty space
|
|
But then I laid down beside you
|
And I wanted your lovin'
|
Because your love makes my life complete
|
But the last thing I needed
|
The first thing this morning
|
Was to have you walk out on me
|
|
So excuse me for lookin'
|
Like my world just ended
|
And excuse me for lookin'
|
Like I just lost my best friend
|
And excuse me for livin'
|
And being forgiving
|
So just go on if you want to be free
|
|
But the last thing I needed
|
The first thing this morning
|
Was to have you walk out on me
|
