Cold Hard Facts Of Life

by Porter Wagner

I got back in town a day before I'd planned to

I smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife

I don't think I'll call,I'll just get on home

I didn't know the cold hard facts of life

I passed a little wine store on the corner

I pictured pink champagne by candle light

Stopped the car right then,got out and hurried in

My mind not on the cold hard facts of life

A stranger stood there laughing at the counter

He said I'll have two bottles of your best

Her husband's out of town and there's a party

He winked as if to say you know the rest

I left the store two steps behind the stranger
