[Verse 1]
C
I thought I'd like to lead the bachelor life for a while
F
Live alone and have some fun

So I told her to take the kids and go back to her mama

(That's how I wanted it to be) and I felt satisfied it was done
[Chorus]
F C
I wake up every morning make myself a cup of Jay

Down to the factory that's where I spend my day
F C
Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free
G7 C C7
That's how I wanted it to be
[Verse 2]

Well it didn't take me long to find out just how much I needed her
C
So I wrote and told her to take the kids
G7
And come on back home cause I was ready to settle down now
C
Well you see I just got her letter today
F G7
And it seems she's found someone else someone she can depend on
C
(That's how I wanted it to be) and she ain't comin' home no more
[Chorus]

I wake up every morning make myself a cup of Jay
G7 C
Down to the factory that's where I spend my day

Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free
