[00:04.50]George Strait
[00:05.86]I Hate Everything
[00:07.73]He was sittin’ there beside me throwin’ doubles down
[00:14.18]When he ordered up his third one, he looked around
[00:19.38]Then he looked at me, and said, “I do believe
[00:24.73]I’ll have one more.”
[00:32.10]He said, “I hate this bar, and I hate to drink
[00:37.24]But on second thought tonight I think I hate everything.”
[00:47.94]Then he opened up his billfold and threw a twenty down
[00:53.08]And a faded photograph fell out and hit the ground
[00:57.77]And I picked it up, he said, “Thank you, bud.”
[01:02.66]I put it in his hand
[01:09.02]He said, “I probably ought to throw this one away
[01:11.43]‘Cause she’s the reason I feel this way
[01:16.94]Why I hate everything.”
[01:20.78]CHORUS:
[01:24.81]Why I hate my job, and I hate my life
[01:29.75]And if it weren’t for my two kids, I’d hate my ex-wife
[01:33.84]I know I should move on and try to start again
[01:40.60]But I just can’t get over her leaving me for him
[01:44.53]Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring
[01:50.78]And said, “I have everything.”
[01:55.98]He said, “That one bedroom apartment where I get my mail
[02:01.98]Is really not a home, it’s more like a jail
[02:06.52]With a swimming pool and a parking lot view
[02:11.66]Man, it’s just great.
[02:17.26]I hate summer, winter, fall and spring
[02:23.27]Red and yellow, purple, blue and green
[02:27.76]I hate everything.”
[02:33.35]CHORUS:
[02:33.65]Why I hate my job, and I hate my life
[02:36.88]And if it weren’t for my two kids, I’d hate my ex-wife
[02:44.24]I know I should move on and try to start again
[02:48.99]But I just can’t get over her leaving me for him
[02:54.63]Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring
[02:59.13]And said, “I have everything.”
[03:02.71]REPEAT CHORUS
[03:20.96]So I pulled out my phone, and I called my house
[03:31.40]I said, “Babe, I’m coming home, we’re gonna work this out.”
[03:36.25]I paid for his drinks, and I told him “Thanks.”
[03:43.01]Thanks for everything
