Lyrics

I'm sorry that I'm leaving but I just can't stay
I really didn't mean for things to turn out this way
You're asking me for answers to questions that I don't know
Before there's any hard feelings I think its best for me to go

You can have the furniture just like we agreed
'Cause where I'm going I'll have everything I need
I'm not one for frillies or any kind of lace
And come tomorrow morning I'll be out of this place

(Chorus)
Whiskey and cigarettes and my favorite beer
Home to me has always been a barroom atmosphere
Play a little poker, shoot a lot of pool
I've got a standing reservation at the corner barstool

Everything I've taken is in the backseat of my car
It's parked under a blinking neon sign that just says "Bar"
I'm pretty sure that's all, I won't say you won't be missed
If there's anything that I forget, honey I'll send you a list

Chorus

There's nothing more to understand, it wasn't meant to be
I'm not for commitment, I'm just being me
I don't have a bank account, real estate or stocks
I'm a graduate of living in the school of hard knocks

Chorus

(Hey Norm, how 'bout a beer?)
