《The Cold Hard Facts of Life》歌词

[00:00:00] The Cold Hard Facts of Life - Porter Wagoner

[00:00:08] I got back in town a day before I'd planned to

[00:00:15] I smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife

[00:00:23] I don't think I'll phone I'll just head on home

[00:00:30] For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life

[00:00:37] I passed a little winestore on the corner

[00:00:44] I pictured big champagne by candle light

[00:00:51] I stopped the car right then got out and hurried in

[00:00:58] My mind not on the cold hard facts of life

[00:01:05] A stranger stood there laughing by the counter

[00:01:13] He said I'll take two bottles of your best

[00:01:20] Her husband's out of town and there's a party

[00:01:27] He winkled as if to say you know the rest

[00:01:34] I left the store two steps behind the stranger

[00:01:41] From there to my house his car stayed in sight

[00:01:48] But it wasn't till he turned into my drive that I learned

[00:01:55] I was witnessing the cold hard facts of life

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

[00:02:11] The noise came louder from within

[00:02:16] And then I saw our bottle there beside me

[00:02:24] And I drank a fifth of courage and walked in

[00:02:31] Lord you should've seen their frantic faces

[00:02:38] They screamed and cried please put away that knife

[00:02:45] I guess I'll go to hell or I'll rot here in the cell

[00:02:53] But who taught who the cold hard facts of life

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