Two weeks' notice, would've been real nice
I could have put this broken heart on ice
Belly full of whiskey, all laid up in bed
Gearin' up for what lies ahead
Could've quit my job and let my beard grow out
Another sad ol' story that you hear about
But I got nothin' from you
It came without a warning at all
CHORUS
It was high and dry when you told me goodbye
Now isn't that a hell of a deal
Right outta the blue you broke it in two
And now you wanna know how I feel
Why don't you come around when the swellin' goes down
Right now I'm doin' okay
Hit me back
I should know somethin' in a couple of days
It ain't sunk in yet but I know that ol' pain
It'll come like a storm once it starts to rain
Right now the skies just a couple of clouds
It's gonna be hell once the bottom falls out
I might head for shelter
I might run and hide
I might take my chances standin' outside
It's too early to tell
Hell you just left me today
Repeat CHORUS
Why don't you come around when the swellin' goes down
Right now I'm doin' okay
Hit me back
I should know somethin' in a couple of days
Girl, hit me back
I should know somethin' in a couple of days
