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

Well, I hate my job, and I hate my life
And if it werent 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 werent 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...
