I GOT BACK IN TOWN A DAY BEFORE I 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 CANDELIGHT
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 AT 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
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 C
