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

I pictured big 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 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

然后我鼓起勇气走回去
Lord you should've seen their frantic faces

They screamed and cried please put away that knife

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