I came home expecting a meal and a brew
Instead I found that message from you
Saying that you'd packed your things and were gone
I thought it over for a little bit
Just trying to make all the pieces to fit
And decided I'd call Bob on the telephone
I said " Bob ,
My first wife left me for your second wife
It's hard getting used to this modern life
Things just ain't the way they used to be
My first wife left me for your second wife
It's hard getting used to this city life
For a small town country boy like me "
Well, Bob suggested a drink or two
At a cute little tavern that he knew
That's just about a mile or so from here
He listened to me talk for a little while
Then gave me an odd sort of a smile
And invited me up to his place for a beer
Uhh, Bob.
My first wife left me for your second wife
It's hard getting used to this modern life
Things just aren't the way they used to be
My first wife left me for your second wife
It's hard getting used to this city life
For a small town country boy like me
I'm a live and let live sort of a guy
I don't judge how other people live their lives
But I know who I am and what I'm about
When Bob made his offer I politely declined
He went his way and I went mine
There's a new girl at my church that I think I'll ask out
My first wife left me for your second wife
It's hard getting used to this modern life
Things just aren't the way they used to be
My first wife left me for your second wife
It's hard getting used to this city life
For a small town country boy like me
