My Mailbox (Is Empty) Lyrics

Gettin over you was easy

Once I got on outta town

Don't you worry 'bout me baby

Trouble never comes around

I was the last one to learn

That I can't be controlled

When things get out of hand

I'm the last one I scold

Wish I could say I'm better now

But that would be a lie

There just ain't no one in the kitchen

For me to argue with tonight

My mailbox is empty

Only bills fill the space

When the postman comes around

I can't look him in the face

They's a bar across the street

Where I've found some company

Hell, they even got skee ball

Now tell me why would I ever leave?

To crawl back to that ol room

Just to prove to myself

That a cold empty bed

Is better than a prison cell

I'll polish off that ol' bottle

Like I did the night you left

Tried to drown myself in liquor

I reckon you were a life vest

Wish I could say I'm better now

But that would be a lie

There just ain't no one in the kitchen

For me to argue with tonight

My mailbox is empty

Only bills fill the space

When the postman comes around

I can't look him in the face

They's a bar across the street

Where I've found some company

Hell, they even got skee ball

Now tell me why would I ever leave?

Gettin' over you was easy

Once I got on outta town

Don't you worry 'bout me baby

Trouble stays around
