Record Year

Since you turned the tables on me I've been steady and learnin' lonely Keepin' this turntable spinnin' Everything from Jones to Jennings Slowly plannin' my survival In a three-foot stack of vinyl Since you had to walk outta here I've been havin' a record year I bet you thought before you left I'd just sit in silence by myself Turn this house into a jail Dyin' slow in a livin' hell But love's got a funny way of keepin' score And your leavin' 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 havin' a record year Quarter notes and Hank's half time Are poundin' 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 Doin' God knows how, and I'm stuck here Havin' a record year Your leavin' left me goin' crazy I'm countin' 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 poundin' 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 Doin' God knows how, but I'm stuck here Havin' a record year Yeah, I'm havin' a record year
