The Cold Hard Facts of Life - Porter Wagoner[00:00:00]
I got back in town a day before I'd planned to[00:00:08]
I smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife[00:00:15]
I don't think I'll phone I'll just head on home[00:00:23]
For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life[00:00:30]
I passed a little winestore on the corner[00:00:37]
I pictured big champagne by candle light[00:00:44]
I stopped the car right then got out and hurried in[00:00:51]
My mind not on the cold hard facts of life[00:00:58]
A stranger stood there laughing by the counter[00:01:05]
He said I'll take two bottles of your best[00:01:13]
Her husband's out of town and there's a party[00:01:20]
He winkled as if to say you know the rest[00:01:27]
I left the store two steps behind the stranger[00:01:34]
From there to my house his car stayed in sight[00:01:41]
But it wasn't till he turned into my drive that I learned[00:01:48]
I was witnessing the cold hard facts of life[00:01:55]
I drove around the block till I was dizzy each time[00:02:02]
The noise came louder from within[00:02:11]
And then I saw our bottle there beside me[00:02:16]
And I drank a fifth of courage and walked in[00:02:24]
Lord you should've seen their frantic faces[00:02:31]
They screamed and cried please put away that knife[00:02:38]
I guess I'll go to hell or I'll rot here in the cell[00:02:45]
But who taught who the cold hard facts of life[00:02:53]
Who taught who the cold hard facts of life[00:03:00]
