Since you turned the
tables on me
I've been steady
and learnin' lonely
Keepin' this turntable spinnin'
everything from Jones
to Jennings
Slowly plannin' my survival
in a three-foot stack of vinyl
Since you had to
walk outta here
I've been havin' a record year
I bet you thought
before you left
I'd just sit in silence
by myself
Turn this house into a jail
dyin' slow in a livin' hell
But love's got a funny way
of keepin' score
And your leavin' lit
up my scoreboard
I usually make it
through side A sober
All bets are off when
I flip her over
One bourbon
one scotch one beer
I'm havin' a record year
Quarter notes and
Hank's half time
Are poundin' on this
heart of mine
Song to song
I pass my time
with these speakers on ten
Your good-and-gone
keeps me up all night
Along with Songs
in the Key of Life
I'm either gonna get over you
or I'm gonna blow out my ears
Yeah you're out there now
doin' God knows how
And I'm stuck here
havin' a record year
Your leavin' left me goin' crazy
I'm countin' on a
needle to save me
I drop it in the groove
and we go 'round and 'round
and down in a spiral
I guess I really oughta
call and thank you
I rediscovered Red
Headed Stranger
Got down with
old James Brown
and found New Grass Revival
If you find your way back
I owe you a beer
for my record year
Quarter notes and
Hank's half time
Are poundin' on this
heart of mine
Song to song
I pass my time
with these speakers on ten
Your good-and-gone
keeps me up all night
Along with Songs
in the Key of Life
I'm either gonna get over you
or I'm gonna blow out my ears
Yeah you're out there now
doin' God knows how
But I'm stuck here
Havin' a record year
Yeah I'm havin' a record year
