She been gone, almost two weeks now

Tired as hell, but I can't sleep now

I miss my kids, and though I see them everyday it ain't the same

This big house is full of echos

I'm thinkin now maybe I should just let it go

Cause it's too big for just me

Too many memories



[Chorus:]

So I pay my child support like the judge tells me to

And I'll stay out all night drinkin' while I'm getting over you 

It's sad but it's true 

Don't know what else I can do 

Guess I'll pull my fuckin' heart out on this CD like a fool

Yall better learn from this... [4x] 

Mmm



I day-dream of how we used to be

And eat ice cream until the box is clean 

I miss my kids and even though they live right up the street 

It's killing me 

My phone rings for what seems like hours 

And when they ask for you, I say you're in the shower [laughs]

It's my way of calming down

It's either that or burn this fuckin' house to the ground



[Chorus:]

So I pay my child support like the judge tells me to

And I'll stay out all night drinkin' while I'm getting over you 

It's sad but it's true 

But I'm gonna do the best I can

And if by chance I don't make it, the kids tuition is in my timberlands 

Y'all better learn from this... [4x] 

Mmm



So I guess I'll take it to the bridge (to the bridge)

Cause there's just too many and this is what it is

It's about a man who lost his woman and his kids (and his kids)

And it goes a little something like this (goes a little something like this)

Little miss muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her pourage away

Then along came a liar

Sat down beside her and frightened miss muffet away 

Again now she's gone

She ain't never come home at all

Ooh now she's gone (learn from this) 

If I could take it back 

Oooo I would take it, ooo I would take it (learn from this)

Oooooooooooooo 

Learn from this... [till fade out]
