Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Postman delivered
A past due bill notice
Alarm clock rang two hours late
The garbage man left all the trash
On the sidewalk
And the hinges fell off of the gate
This morning at breakfast
I spilled all the coffee
And opened the door on my knee
[Chorus]
Oh, the last thing I needed
First thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
[Verse 2]
Last night, you came home late
And I knew you'd been drinking
By that old mellow look on your face
I thought it don't matter
'Cause it's the holiday season
And you fill such a big empty space
Then I laid down beside you
And I wanted your loving
'Cause your love makes my life complete
[Chorus]
Oh, the last thing I needed
First thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
[Verse 3]
So excuse me for looking
Like my world just ended
And excuse me for looking
Like I just lost my best friend
And excuse me for loving
Being forgiving
Just go on if you wanna be free
[Chorus]
The last thing I needed
First thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
[Chorus]
Oh, the last thing I needed
First thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
