Cold hard facts of life
Jerry reedI smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife
I don't think I will phone I'll just head on home
For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life
I passed a little winestore on the corner
I pictured pink champagne by candle light
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 by the counter
He said I'll take two bottles of your best
Her husband's out of town and there's a party)
He winkled as if to say you know the rest
So 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 driveway 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)
So I drank a fifth of courage and walked in
Oh Lord you should have seen their frantic faces
They screamed and cried please put away that knife
To the devil I may go for there's one thing I know
Who told who the cold hard facts of life
Who told who the cold hard facts of life
