Ferlin Husky Cold Hard Facts Of Life Lyrics

Cold Hard Facts Of Life Lyrics

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 phone I'll just head on home



For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life



I passed a little winestore on the corner I pictured pink champagne by candle
light



I 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 by the counter



He said I'll take two bottles of your best



Her husband's out of town and there's a party



He winkled 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



But it wasn't till he turned into my drive 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 



And I drank a fifth of courage and walked in



Oh you should have seen their frantic faces



They screamed and cried please put away that knife



I guess I'll go to hell or rot here in the cell



But who told who the cold hard facts of life who told who the cold hard facts
of life
