Well, I got bored, had some whiskey

Cleaned the basement, playin' some whitley

Found a 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

But 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

To 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

But 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

But 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.
