Well, I got bored, had some whiskey

Cleaned the basement, played some Whitley

Found the box of Grandma's homegrown recipes

Halfway through that first Vidalia

Thought of a few things I would tell ya

If you think your leavin' made a mess of me

No, don't flatter yourself, I ain't been goin' through hell

And I ain't been down since we been up and done with

Hadn't shed one tear over you not bein' here

I ain't been cryin', I've just been cuttin' onions

Well, now my Friday nights

Are me and this kitchen knife

Unlike you, it never stabbed me in the back

So, if Ma and them just happen by

And see a little waterin' in my eyes

They might blame it on you or on the past

but I ain't even sad

No, don't flatter yourself, I ain't been goin' through hell

And I ain't been down since we been up and done with

Hadn't shed one tear over you not bein' here

I ain't been cryin', I've just been cuttin' onions

Every layer I peel back

Heart breakin' don't feel so bad

No, don't flatter yourself, I ain't been goin' through hell

And I ain't been down since we been up and done with

Hadn't shed one tear over you not bein' here

I ain't been cryin', I've just been cuttin' onions

Hadn't shed one tear over you not bein' here

I ain't been cryin', I've just been cuttin' onions

One, two, three, go
