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 payed for his drinks,
And I told him thanks
Thanks for everything
