A Good Talking To Lyrics

Well I went out last night

And I made an ass of myself again

You know I'm the eighth wonder in this world

It's a miracle that I still have any friends

And when I stumbled home this morning

Well you already knew

Who I'd been with last night

And how I got this mud caked to my pants & shoes

All my friends say it so obvious

Yet I don't seem to have a clue

And Darling I guess you've been right all along

It's time I gave myself a good talking to

Well when you're so lost in your past

It's hard to see the slightest glimmer of light

I've been down in this ditch so long

It's hard to remember what the sun looks like

Well you smelled the whiskey on my breath

And heard the glass shatter against the wall

When I offered you the best of my love

You said that wasn't any kind of love at all

All my friends say it so obvious

Yet I don't seem to have a clue

And Darling I guess you've been right all along

It's time I gave myself a good talking to

It's time to quit this running around in circles

I need to start walking in a straight line

And try to keep my eyes wide open

Instead of stumbling around this town half blind

I swear I'm going to set this record straight

I'm going to pull myself on through

I'll walk barefoot over these shards of broken glass

And become the man that you once knew
