Postman delivered a past due bill notice
The alarm clock rang 2 hours late
The garbage man left all the trash on the sidewalk
& the hinges fell off of the gate
This mornin' at breakfast, I spilled all the coffee
I opened the door on my knee
The last thing I needed first thing this mornin'
Was to have you walk out on me
Last night you came home late & I knew you'd been drinkin'
By that old mellow look on your face
But I thought, It don't matter 'cause it's the Holiday season
& you fill such a big empty space
& I lay down beside you & I wanted your lovin'
'Cause your love makes my life complete
The last thing I needed first thing this mornin'
Was to have you walk out on me
So excuse me for lookin' like my world just ended
Excuse me for lookin' like I just lost my best friend
Excuse me for livin' & be forgivin'
Just go on if you wanna be free
But the last thing I needed first thing this mornin'
Was to have you walk out on me
