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
