I was sittin' at the bar with my buddies
Discussin' the state of the world
Everyone had an opinion
Then somebody turned and asked Earl
"Is the stock market gonna recover
Or will it wind up in the tank?"
He looked down at his glass of Bourbon
He said "I love her, she hates me, and I drink"Wall Street don't run out by my house
I don't put much stock in their gain
Just three things in this world concern me
I love her, she hates me, and I drinkWell he went back to mindin' his memories
For awhile there we left him alone
We went back to mindin' our business
And the cowboys and packers came on
Bill tapped ol' Earl on his shoulder
He asked "Who do you like in this game?"
And he said "For me the game's over"
I love her, she hates me, and I drinkAnd you can count on a winner and a loser
What I think don't change a damn thing
Just three things in this world concern me
I love her, she hates me, and I drinkWhy don't ya'll leave me the hell alone?Yeah Wall Street don't run out by my house
It's a far cry from memory lane
Just three things in this world concern me
I love her, God she hates me, I drink
