A letra:
The postman delivered a past due bill notice
And the alarm clock rang two hours late
And the garbage man left all the trash on the sidewalk
And the hinges fell off of the gate
And this morning at breakfast, I spilled all the coffee
And I opened the door on my knee
The last thing I needed, the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
Last night you came home late and I knew you'd been drinking
By the old mellow look on your face
But I thought it don't matter 'cause it's the holiday season
And you fill such a big empty space
And I laid down beside you, and I wanted your loving
'Cause your love makes my life complete
The last thing I needed, the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
So excuse me for looking like my world just ended
Excuse me for looking like I just lost my best friend
Excuse me for living and being forgiving
So just go on if you want to be free
But the last thing I needed, the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
