A Good Talking To

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
