[Verse 1] He was sitting there beside me throwing doubles down When he ordered up his third one he looked around Then he looked at me, 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 [Verse 2] Then he opened up his billfold and threw a 20 down And the 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, I hate everything [Chorus] I hate my job, 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 hate everything [Verse 3] He said 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 that's just great I hate summer, winter, fall and spring Red and yellow, purple, blue and green, I hate everything [Chorus] [Outro] 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
