Song Description

Story of a man who finds his wife cheating with his best friend and ends up on skid row

Lyrics

I KEEP MY LIFE IN A CARDBOARD BOX
I'VE GOT TWO OLD SHIRTS AND THREE ODD SOCKS
GOT A MUSIC STAND FROM MY DAYS IN THE BAND
AND A PHOTOGRAPH OF AN UNKNOWN MAN

AND IT'S COLD OUTSIDE..... BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT

THE REPO MAN JUST TOOK MY CAR...
I SPENT ALL NIGHT IN AN ALL NIGHT BAR
THE FOOD'S ALL GONE AND THE MONEY'S SPENT...
I GOT NO WAY TO PAY THE RENT

AND IT'S COLD OUTSIDE..... BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT

AND IF YOU THINK THAT SAYING SORRY'S BABE
IS GONNA... TAKE AWAY THE PAIN
THEN I'M SORRY GIRL BUT YOU'D BETTER THINK AGAIN

AND IF YOU THINK I'M COMING BACK TO YOU
THEN YOU'D BETTER THINK AGAIN
SINCE I FOUND YOU IN THE ARMS OF MY BEST FRIEND

I LOSE MY JOB BUT I KEEP MY PRIDE...
I'M SLEEPING ROUGH BY THE RIVERSIDE
MY ONLY FRIEND IS THE UNKNOWN MAN ...
IN THE PHOTOGRAPH CLUTCHED IN MY HAND

AND IT'S COLD OUTSIDE..... BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT

TWO YEARS PAST AND I'M ON MY FEET...
WHEN I SEE YOUR FACE IN A MAGAZINE
I CALL YOU ON THE TELEPHONE...
AND YOU ASK ME IF I'LL COME BACK HOME

'CAUSE IT'S COLD OUTSIDE..... BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT
REPEAT CHORUS
