COLD HARD FACTS OF LIFE

by Porter Wagner

I got back in town a day before I'd planned to

I smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife

I don't think I'll call,I'll just get on home

I didn't know the cold hard facts of life

I passed a little wine store on the corner

I pictured pink champagne by candle light

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 have 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

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

Man you should have seen their frantic faces

As she screamed and cried please put away that knife

I think I'll go to hell,or I'll rot here in this cell

But who taught who the cold hard facts of life
