Lyrics

HE THOUGHT HE WAS RIGHT (TIL SHE LEFT)

She was on the couch by the phone with his credit card,
She had that Home Shopping Network on,
Buying something totally useless with money that they didn't have.
He took away the remote,
Changed it to his favorite fishing show,
She stormed out of the room,
Said "This time I'm through getting mad."
He said "I'm the boss, I pick the channels, it's only fair."
"...so grab a cold one for me from the Frigidaire."

(chorus)
He thought he was right (and he told her so).
He thought he was right (and thought she should know).
He thought he was right...
Til she left.

He put a can of pork and beans in the microwave.
Next thing, he's puttin' out a kitchen blaze.
Since that woman took off, he's as helpless as a man could be.
He put too much Tide in his laundry load.
Now he's mopping up the mess that overflowed.
He admitted to himself, "The one who's really wrong is me."
He was sure he could make it on his own.
Now he's emotionally naked and all alone.

(chorus)
He thought he was right (but, now she's long gone).
He thought he was right (she won't answer her cell phone).
He thought he was right...
Til she left.

(bridge)
He used to hurt her feelings 'cause he just didn't care,
But he missed the boat, she smartened up and got out of there.

(chorus)
He thought he was right (and he thought that she heard).
He thought he was right (he thought he had the last word).
He thought he was right...
Til she left.

(chorus)
I thought I was right (now she's goin' it alone).
I thought I was right (without her, our house ain't no home).
I thought I was right...
Til she left.
