Story behind the song
When my first wife left me and took my children away forever. I began to learn it is a "Mean Old World" 20 years later it still is.....
Lyrics
It's a mean old world To try and live in by yourself It's a mean old world To try and live in by yourself When the one you love Is lovin' someone else (spoken - "that's not so good") Well I drink to keep from worrying And I smile to keep from cryin' (spoken - "I'm smiling all the time") Well I drink to keep from worrying And I smile to keep from cryin' That way the public won't know What is on my mind, my dirty old mind (spoken- "Here's what's on my mind) -instrumental once around- One and one is two Two and two well, that's four One and one is two Two and two well, that's four I come home early one day My wife and kids moved out Through that front door (spoken - "That put my ass out on the road. I took the state of Mississippi to be my home.) It's a mean old world To try and live in by yourself It's a mean old world To try and live in by yourself When the one you love Is out there, running around, and spending -your money- on someone else it's a mean old world...
