Making money at 30 with a wife and a son

Then a short 5 years later it all comes undone

She's gone back to mama with the boy by her side

Now I'm wine drunk and running with them on my mind

I'm on the backside of thirty and back on my own

An empty apartment don't feel like a home

On the backside of thirty the short side of time

Back on the bottom with no will to climb

It's dawn Monday morning and I just called in sick
C D7 G7
I skipped work last Friday to drink this month's rent
C F G7
And when my friends ask me I tell 'em I'm fine
C G7 C
But my eyes tell the story that my lies can't hide
