Breaking Out The Good Stuff

Things aint what they used to be we don’t talk much anymore
But silence brings its own reward
I bundled up my dignity laid it in the bottom drawer
It might as well be safe as be ignored
Every day’s a memory and every night’s a curse
And the mornings are forever out of sight
If yesterday is all we have tomorrow may be worse
So I’m breaking out the good stuff tonight

I’ve broken the best china it just fell out of my hand
And shattered into pieces on the floor
I wasn’t going to tell you I didn’t think you’d understand
And I didn’t want to start another war
I’m tired of being second best and feeling second class
And I’m tired of you always being right
So I’m sweeping up the pieces I’m gonna throw them in the trash
Then I’m breaking out the good stuff tonight

I’ve been howling at the moon
While it’s shining oh so bright
Love, it seems has abandoned me tonight

So while we’re on the subject of love and all its woes
And I’m singing this sad refrain
Let’s hear it for my broken heart, that’s my fault I suppose
S’funny how I always take the blame
I lost my lucky charm playing cards and shooting pool
Looking back I maybe got that right
For all the luck it brought me, I might as well play the fool
So I’m breaking out the good stuff tonight
And they say that it won’t kill me, but deep down I think it might
So I’m breaking out the good stuff tonight
