Artist picture
It's called Maximum Honky Tonk, and no one plays it like Bob Wire. Country, blues, rockabilly, folk, and some good ol' rock and roll. Honest, smart and funny.
Funniest blog on the web? Judge for yourself at NewWest.net/BobWire. You won't regret it. I swear. This is Butt-twitchin' country music for adults with a brain and a sense of humor! Bob Wire writes catchy, original songs with a twisted perspective that puts him way out in the left field of Nashvegas. Bob sez: Hank Jr. is the disease, and Hank Sr. is the cure.

Story behind the song
It just came to me.
Lyrics
She was gone when I got home from work one morning Empty hangers in the closet where her dresses used to be The note she left upon the kitchen table Made it pretty clear that she was through with me Each time I read the note I couldnÕt believe it When she said that she was leaving and her love for me had died I sat there with my bowl of instant oatmeal Made salty by the bitter tears I cried Chorus She took a powder, I canÕt live without her I sit here in my La-Z-Boy, staring at the phone I miss her loving, I never saw it coming I canÕt believe she left me here alone Solo (to verse) Now I go to work in clothes that ainÕt been washed Since my baby packed her bags and hit the road a week ago My dirty shirt just lost another button But my mama never taught me how to sew Chorus My heart is broken, mister I ainÕt jokinÕ IÕm tired of tv dinners and my hand is getting sore She left me hurtinÕ, one thingÕs for certain IÕm hoping sheÕll come walking through that door Bridge The dishes pile up in the sink, but I just sit alone and drink I guess IÕll never understand why she left her lovinÕ man Chorus She took a powder, I canÕt live without her I sit here in my La-Z-Boy, staring at the phone I miss her loving, I never saw it coming I canÕt believe she left me here alone I canÕt believe she left me here alone
