C
I got back in town a
day before I'd planned to
G

I don't think I'll phone,
C
I'll just head on home
G

For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life
Verse 2

I passed a little wine store on the corner
G

I pictured pink champagne by candle light

I stopped the car right then

got out and hurried in
G

My mind not on the cold hard facts of life
Verse 3

A stranger stood there

Her husband's out of town

I left the store two steps
behind the stranger

From there to my house,

his car stayed in sight

I was witnessing the cold hard facts of life

Each time the noise came

louder from within

And I drank a fifth of courage

and walked in

Lord, you should've seen
their frantic faces

They screamed and cried,

please put away that knife

I guess I'll go to hell or

I'll rot here in this cell
But who taught who the

cold hard facts of life
C
Who taught who the cold hard facts of life
