He was sittin' there beside me throwin' doubles down When he ordered up his third one, he looked around Then he looked at me, and said, "I do believe I'll have one more." He said, "I hate this bar, and I hate to drink But on second thought tonight I think I hate everything." Then he opened up his billfold and threw a twenty down And a faded photograph fell out and hit the ground And I picked it up, he said, "Thank you, bud." I put it in his hand He said, "I probably ought to throw this one away 'Cause she's the reason I feel this way Why I hate everything." CHORUS: Why I hate my job, and I hate my life And if it weren't for my two kids, I'd hate my ex-wife I know I should move on and try to start again But I just can't get over her leaving me for him Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring And said, "I have everything." He said, "That one bedroom apartment where I get my mail Is really not a home, it's more like a jail With a swimming pool and a parking lot view Man, it's just great. I hate summer, winter, fall and spring Red and yellow, purple, blue and green I hate everything." REPEAT CHORUS So I pulled out my phone, and I called my house I said, "Babe, I'm coming home, we're gonna Work this out." I paid for his drinks, and I told him "Thanks." Thanks for everything
