He was sitting there beside me throwin' doubles down
When he ordered up his third one
He looked around then he looked at me
And said, "I do believe I oughta have one more"He said, "I hate this bar and I hate to drink
But on second thought, tonight I think I hate everything"Then he opened up his billfold and threw a 20 down
And a faded photograph fell out and hit the ground
And I picked it up he said "Thank ya bud"
I put it in his handHe said, "I probably oughta throw this one away
'Cause she's the reason I feel this way, I hate everything"'I hate my job and I hate my life
And if it weren't for my two kids, I'd hate my ex-wife
I know I should move on and try to start again
But I just can't get over her leaving me for him"Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring
And said, "I hate everything"He said, "That one bedroom apartment where I get my mail
Is really not a home, it's more like a jail
With a swimming pool and a parking lot view
Man, it's just great"'I hate summer, winter, fall, and spring
Red and yellow, purple, blue and green, I hate everything""I hate my job and I hate my life
And if it weren't for my two kids, I'd hate my ex-wife
I know I should move on and try to start again
But I just can't get over her leaving me for him"Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring
And said, "I hate everything"So I pulled out my phone and I called my house
I said, "Babe, I'm coming home we're gonna work this out"
I paid for his drinks and I told him thanks
Thanks for everything
