Since you turned the tables on me
I've been steady and learning lonely
Keeping this turntable spinning
Everything from Jones to Jennings
Slowly planning my survival
In a three-foot stack of vinyl
Since you had to walk outta here
I've been having a record year

I bet you thought before you left
I'd just sit in silence by myself
Turn this house into a jail
Dying slow in a living hell
But love's got a funny way of keeping score
And your leaving 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 having a record year

Quarter notes and Hank's half time
Are pounding 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
Doing God knows how, and I'm stuck here
Having a record year

Your leaving left me going crazy
I'm counting 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 pounding 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
Doing God knows how, but I'm stuck here
Having a record year
Yeah, I'm having a record year
