RUE THIS DAY

I took the sausage from the microwave

It tasted like briquettes 

I like my eggs done over-easy

Haven’t cooked them that way yet

I scraped the black off of my toast

Stupid dial must be broke

Threw it all in the sink, found my keys,

And grabbed my coat

When does it all get easier

There must be a better way

I hate to admit that she was right

When she said I’d rue the day

~~~*Chorus*~~~

She said you will rue this day

Kicking me out

I have been your slave

You’ll be sorry now

Baby…

You are going to pay

Yeah…

You will rue this day

~~*~~

Ran out of gas on the way to work

Is there a button on this tank

My truck was still in both our names

Yeah, I have her to thank

The boss turned around and sent me home

Said you can’t come in this way

You get on home, iron up those clothes

And do not forget to shave

~~*~~

When I got home I realized

That my place was looking rough

And it was smelling just as bad

Oh Man! I’ve had enough

I’m sick of doing everything

Tired of hanging out alone

So I called my ace in the hole

Said "Mom can I come home?" 

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

No, I don't know, anymore, why I kicked her out

Come on Ma, I'm drowning here 

Sheesh, you don't need to shout

No, she won't come home, she's good and gone

And I should feel relieved

All she ever did, was whine and cry 

And blame everything on me

~~*~~

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~

She said I would rue this day

Kicking her out

Said she was my slave

I'd be sorry now

Baby…

I will find my way

Yeah…

Made it through this day

~~*~~
