She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart While I'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar And we don't know how we got into this mad situation Only doing things out of frustration Trying to make it work but man these times are hard She needs me now but I can't seem to find a time I've got a new job now in the unemployment line And we don't know how we got into this mess it's a gods test Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best Trying to make it work but man these times are hard But we're gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine Sit talking up all night Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah We're smiling but we're close to tears Even after all these years We just now got the feeling that we're meeting For the first time She's in line at the dole with her head held high While I just lost my job but didn't lose my pride But we both know how we're gonna make it work when it hurts When you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt Trying to make it work but man these times are hard But we're gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine Sit talking up all night Doing things we haven't for a while, a while yeah Smiling but we're close to tears Even after all these years We just now got the feeling that we're meeting For the first time Drinking old cheap bottles of wine Sit talking up all night Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah We're smiling but we're close to tears Even after all these years We just now got the feeling that we're meeting For the first time For the first time Oh, for the first time Yeah, for the first time Just now got the feeling that we're meeting For the first time Oh these times are hard Yeah they're making us crazy Don't give up on me baby Oh these times are hard Yeah they're making us crazy Don't give up on me baby Oh these times are hard Yeah they're making us crazy Don't give up on me baby Oh these times are hard Yeah they're making us crazy Don't give up on me baby
