for the first time

she's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
while i'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar
and we don't know how we got into this mad situation
only doing things out of frustration

trying to make it work but man these times are hard
she needs me now but i can't seem to find a time
i've git a new job now in the umemploymentline
and we don't know we got into this mess it's a gods test
someone hulp us cause we're doing our best

trying to make it work but man these times are hard
but we're gunna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
sit talking up all night
saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
we're smiling but we're close to tears
even after all these years
we just now got the feeling that we're meeting
for the first time

she's in line at the door with her head held high
while i just lost my job but didn't lose my flight
but we both know how we're gonna make it work when it hurts
when you pick yourself up you get kicked in the dirt

trying to make it work but man these times are hard
but we're gunna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
we're smiling but we're close to tears

even after all these years
we just now got the feeling that we're meeting
for the first time

drinking old cheap bottles of wine
saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
we're smiling but we're close to tears
even after all these years
we just now got the feeling that we're meeting
for the first time
