I Hate Everything

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 hand He 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
