there he sits up at the well
with a tragedy to tell
cryin' in his wine, the bartender rolls his eyes
another poor fool's story about hell
but we don't pay him no mind at all
we just laugh and drink and shoot 9 ball
and there might have been a time
when we'd have simathized
and helped him get back up after his fall
but tough guys like us
are way too jaded and rough
to ever get hurt by somethin' like love
tough guys like us
so he spends his night in pain
and lets her memory drive him half insane
and there might have been a day
when i'd have quit the game
and walked up and said buddy are you ok
(chorus)
so i'm drivin' home alone tonight
and that song comes on you used to sing all the time
and i pull off to the side
and i turn off the lights
so no one sees when i hang my head and cry
(chorus)
