A lot more dinner times than there dinners

I learned a lot that hurt me at the time

Then this quiet country boy came home a different man 

with a memory of distance on my mind

But i always spoke to loud and drank to often, 

Maybe drank to many glasses down

And perhaps my clothes were older that I realized

A relief to all concerned when I left town
