《Cold Hard Facts of Life》歌词

[00:00:00] Cold Hard Facts Of Life - Porter Wagoner

[00:00:08] I got back in town a day

[00:00:11] Before I'd planned to

[00:00:15] I smiled and said

[00:00:17] I'll sure surprise my wife

[00:00:23] I don't think I'll phone

[00:00:27] I'll just head on home

[00:00:30] For I didn't know

[00:00:32] The cold hard facts of life

[00:00:38] I passed a little wine store on the corner

[00:00:45] I pictured big champagne by candle light

[00:00:52] I stopped the car right

[00:00:55] Then got out and hurried in

[00:01:00] My mind not on the cold hard facts of life

[00:01:07] A stranger stood

[00:01:09] There laughing by the counter

[00:01:15] He said "I'll take two bottles of your best"

[00:01:22] Her husband's out of town

[00:01:25] And there's a party

[00:01:30] He winkled as if to say

[00:01:33] You know the rest

[00:01:37] I left the store two steps

[00:01:39] Behind the stranger

[00:01:44] From there to my house

[00:01:46] His car stayed in sight

[00:01:51] But it wasn't till he turned into my drive

[00:01:57] That I learned

[00:01:59] I was witnessing the cold hard facts of life

[00:02:06] I drove around the block till I was dizzy

[00:02:13] Each time the noise

[00:02:15] Came louder from within

[00:02:21] And then I saw our bottle there beside me

[00:02:28] And I drank a fifth of

[00:02:30] Courage and walked in

[00:02:36] Lord you should've seen their frantic faces

[00:02:43] They screamed and cried

[00:02:45] Please put away that knife

[00:02:50] I guess I'll go to hell

[00:02:54] Or I'll rot here in this cell

[00:02:58] But who taught who

[00:03:00] The cold hard facts of life

[00:03:05] Who taught who the cold hard facts of life
