I sold four new Cadillacs
At the dealership today
I felt like celebrating
In a gentlemanly way
So the boys and I went out for
Ten dollar steaks and darlin
That's why I came home a little late
Then I saw an old friend of mine
I ain't seen in twenty years
Well we got to reminiscing
Over just a few more beers
Now I don't recall what happened
Just after that but darlin
I made it home can we just leave it that
Oh don't you cry, cry darlin
Don't you shed a tear
I'd never lie, lie darlin
And I got you something just to show I care

I don't want your grocery store roses
Or your gas station cologne
Keep your chocolates from the drug store
That you bought on your way home
Oh you sure do think you're charming
And on some that works just fine but darlin
This broken heart's worth more than eight ninety nine

Honey I'm so happy that
Ya had a real good day
But I don't think it happened
Just exactly as you say
See I called your work
Just to say hello and darlin
They told me you got fired
Two weeks ago
Then I called all those dirty dives
Where I reckoned you might be
But they said they hadn't seen ya
And they sent your tab to me
It had been three days
When I found you on the lawn and darlin
You reeked of whiskey and your clothes were gone
Oh don't you cry, cry darlin
Don't you shed a tear
I'd never lie, lie darlin
And I got you something just to show I care

I don't want your grocery store roses
Or your gas station cologne
Keep your chocolates from the drug store
That you bought on your way home
Oh you sure do think you're charming
And on some that works just fine but darlin
This broken heart's worth more than eight ninety nine

Oh don't you cry, cry darlin
Don't you shed a tear
I'd never lie, lie darlin
And I got you something just to show I care
I don't want your grocery store roses
Or your gas station cologne
Keep your chocolates from the drug store
That you bought on your way home
Oh you sure do think you're charming
And on some that works just fine but darlin
This broken heart's worth more than eight ninety nine
