Lyrics
Went down the station/Monday morning
To the city/I did ride
My head was heavy/My heart was broken
All I had left was/My manly pride
My wife she left me/Friday evening
She took the kids/and the Mercedes too
My head was heavy/My heart was broken
I didn't know/What I should do
Spent all Saturday/Trying to phone her
But she would not/Return my calls
My head was heavy/My heart was broken
I felt so guilty/I felt so small
All day Sunday/I spent drinking
Trying to forget/And kill the pain
My head was heavy/My heart was broken
Thought that I was going to/Go insane
Went to the station/Monday morning
Thanking the Lord/I still had my job
My head was heavy/My heart was broken
But I will not whimper/And I will not sob.
