Since you turned the tables on me, I've been steady and learnin' lonely
Keepin' this turntable spinning', everything from Jones to Jennings
Slowly plannin' my survival, in a three-foot stack of vinyl
Since you had to walk on outta here, I've been havin' a record year
I bet you thought before you left,I'd just sit in silence by myself
Turn this house into a jail, dyin' slow in a livin' hell
But, love's got a funny way of keepin' score, and your leavin' lit up my scoreboard
I usually make it through side A sober, all bets are off when I flip her over
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer, I'm havin' a record year
Quarter notes and Hank's half time, are poundin' on this heart of mine
Song to song, I pass my time, with these speakers on ten
Your good-and-gone keeps me up all night, along with Songs In The Key Of Life
I'm either gonna get over you, or I'm gonna blow out my ears
Yeah, you're out there now, doin' God knows how, and I'm stuck here
Havin' a record year
Your leavin' left me goin' crazy, I'm countin' on a needle to save me
I drop it in the groove, and we go 'round and 'round and down in a spiral
I guess I really oughta call and thank you, I rediscovered "Red Headed Stranger"
Got down with old James Brown, and found New Grass Revival
If you find your way back, I owe you a beer, for my record year
Quarter notes and Hank's half time, are poundin' on this heart of mine
Song to song, I pass my time, with these speakers on ten
Your good-and-gone keeps me up all night, along with Songs In The Key Of Life
I'm either gonna get over you, or I'm gonna blow out my ears
Yeah, you're out there now, doin' God knows how, and I'm stuck here
Yeah, I'm havin' a record year
