Lyrics

Well I stumbled in pretty late, to a cold dinner on my plate
Some half-burned candles and an empty bottle of Merlot
So I grabbed a beer and found the remote
Settled into an episode of Gunsmoke
Then a fifth of Maker's shattered on our livin' room wall

And after dodgin' my dinner plate, a vase and an old iron furnace grate
I said, "Honey, if you'll let me explain, you see it ain't all my fault"
"I'll tell ya the truth, if you'll just put down that chainsaw"

"Well, I got thirsty, I's feelin' pretty dry
So I stopped in at Moe's then Jack Daniel's caught my eye,
Then Jay stopped by and had ta tell me 'bout his new tires
So I ordered another Budweiser and a shot of Rye
My cell phone had died and I lost all track of time
Yeah I got thirsty, and it must've slipped my mind."

"Well I remember now; it's our 2nd anniversary,
And you don't know how much it really hurts me
Ta see ya packin' up your things and callin' your mom
And I'm happy ya didn't kill me,
but I wish that you could find it in ya ta forgive me...
You know I love you babe, and I didn't mean to do you wrong"

"So ya didn't like my explanation,
Well don't let a little thing like that separate us
I told ya the truth, I groveled and I promised
And I said I was sorry and all..."
Then the screen door slammed and she left me standin' there all alone

Just 'cause I got thirsty, and I prob'ly shoulda lied
But I know she wouldn't even have believed me if I tried
'Cause Jay stopped by and had to tell me about his new tires
So I ordered another Budweiser and a shot of Rye
My cell phone died and I lost all track of time
Well I got thirsty and I prob'ly shoulda lied
Yeah I got thirsty man, and it's lookin' like I shoulda lied.
