I HATE EVERYTHING

George Strait


He was sittin' there beside me
Throwin' doubles down
When he ordered up his third one
He looked around
Than 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

Than 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 outa' throw this one away
Cause she's the reason I feel this way
Why I hate everything

Well, 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 cant get over her
Leavin' me for him
Then he shook his head
And looked down at his ring
And he said I hate everything

Said that one bedroom apartment
Where I get my mail
Is really not a home
It's more like a jail
With a swimmin' pool
And a parkin' lot view
Man its just great
I hate summer, winter, fall and spring
Red and yellow, purple, blue and green
I hate everything

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
Leavin' me for him
Then he shook his head
And looked down at his ring
And he said I hate everything

So I pulled out my phone
And I called my house
I said Babe I'm commin' home
We're gonna work this out
I paid for his drinks
And I told him thanks
Thanks for everything
