Lyrics

My Ex-Life

Mark Houser/Mark Carson, 2006

It was 8 in the morning at a 7?11
He was buying a six-pack
I had to laugh
His five o?clock made me remember
How we used to find answers at the bottom of a glass
I was headed for work, he was just coming in
He looked at me, said where the hell you been

In my ex-life, I was wild
In touch with my demon inner child
When my favorite words were
Two more Miller Lites
I was something way back then
And I still remember when
I was taking chances with every roll of the dice
In my ex-life

He was telling me all about his new adventures
He was never giving up the fight
To chase women and whiskey like he has forever
And he ain?t stopping ?till he gets it right
I got a family a house, stack of bills to pay
He was taking me back to the good old days

(Chorus)

Later that day he called me up
Said c?mon I?ll buy the first round
I thought about it for a minute or two
Then I turned him down


In my ex-life, I was wild
In touch with my demon inner child
But I found a better way to have a good time
A blonde haired angel on her mama?s knee
Both of them waiting home for me
Make it easy to say goodbye
Yeah it?s so easy to say goodbye
To my ex-life
