He was sitting there beside me,
throwin' doubles down
When he ordered up his third one,
he looked around,
Then he looked at me and said,
I do believe I oughta have one more
He said, I hate this bar
and I hate to drink
But on second thought,
tonight I think I hate everything.
Then he opened up his billfold
and threw a 20 down
And a faded photograph fell out
and hit the ground
And I picked it up,
he said, thank ya bud
I put it in his hand,
He said, I probably oughta
throw this one away,
'Cause she's the reason
I feel this way,
I hate everything.
I hate my job,
and I hate my life
And if it weren't for my two kids,
I'd hate my ex-wife
I know I should move on and
try to start again
But I just can't get over
her leaving me for him
Then he shook his head and
looked down at his ring
And said, I hate everything.
He said, that one bedroom apartment
where I get my mail
Is really not a home,
it's more like a jail
With a swimming pool
and a parking lot view
Man, it's just great, I hate summer,
winter, fall, and spring
Red and yellow, purple, blue
and green
I hate everything.
I hate my job,
and I hate my life
And if it weren't for my two kids,
I'd hate my ex-wife
I know I should move on
and try to start again
But I just can't get over her
leaving me for him
Then he shook his head
and looked down at his ring
And said, I hate everything.
So I pulled out my phone
and I called my house
I said, babe, I'm coming home
We're gonna work this out
I paid for his drinks
and I told him thanks
Thanks for everything
