You Were There For Me ©2012 Robert George BMI

Well, I came home pissed-off Friday night from work
Cos my pissant boss was treatin’ me like dirt
I was hopin’ for a shoulder I could lean on
But like always…you were gone

You were downtown someplace drinkin’ our cash
From another lousy jug of sourmash
Starin’ at some bimbo’s painted on Levis
Cos whiskey’s like paint-thinner for your eyes

Somethin’ inside of me knows
I shoulda dumped you long before
But now I got the tide at my toes
I’m relaxin’ on the shore
You were in some crummy saloon
When I needed sympathy
So here I am in sunny Cancun
Cos you were there for me

I was at the mall to pick your Rogaine up
When our Hyundai was rear-ended by a truck
Spent six hours in the damn emergency room
Called you all afternoon

O but you were gamblin’ in a sleazy bar
And an empty house was waiting in your cards
Cos you lost the best thing in your hand
When you bet your wedding band

Somethin’ inside of me knows
I shoulda dumped you long ago
But now I got the tide at my toes
I’m relaxin’ on the shore
You were in some crummy saloon
When I needed sympathy
So here I am in sunny Cancun
Cos you were there for me

Honey, now I’m here for you
Havin’ me a drink or two

Somethin’ inside of me knows
I shoulda dumped you long ago
But now I got the tide at my toes
I’m relaxin’ on the shore
You were in some crummy saloon
When I needed sympathy
So here I am in sunny Cancun
Cos you were there for me


You were there for me
you were there for me…
