I Hate Everything

George Strait · 50 Number Ones [MCA Nashville] [2004]

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...
