Faithlessness
When I got home this morning
The house was empty and bare
My wife had up and gone
Left a note lying there
Below a beer bottle
Lay the words that she’d wrote
I sat and I drank the beer
And picked up her note
It said…
Chorus:
Faithlessness is a hard thing to master
I learn slow, but you taught me well
I’m leaving you now
Just because I feel like it
Adios, au revoir, farewell
So I went to my girlfriend’s
To tell her the score
But she was gone away
Left a note on her door
As I pulled it down
I saw my name written clear
I had a feeling that
I’d been there before
It said…
Chorus:
Faithlessness is a hard thing to master
I learn slow, but you taught me well
I’m leaving you now
Just because I feel like it
Adios, au revoir, farewell
As I drove back home
With tears in my eyes
I thought at least I’ve got my old dog
When I got there I called him
He looked at me
And guess what he said
He said…
Chorus:
Faithlessness is a hard thing to master
I learn slow, but you taught me well
I’m leaving you now
Just because I feel like it
Adios, au revoir, farewell
