For The First Time

I'm all laid up in bed with a broken heart
But he's drinking Jack all alone in a local bar and we don't know how
How we got into this mad situation, only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work, but, man, these times are hard
I needs him now but he can't seem to find the time
He's got a new job now on the unemployment line and we don't know how
How we got into this mess, is it God's test?
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best
Trying to make things work, but, man, these times are hard
But we're gonna stop by drinking our cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night, saying things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
She's in line at the dole with her head held high
While I just lost my job but didn't lose my pride, and we both know how
How we're going to make it work when it hurts,
when you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt
Tryin' to make it work, but, man, these times are hard
But we're gonna start by drinking our cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night, saying things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
