Lyrics
You know the other night I drank my troubles away (until he had to pay)
The speaker coped with his troubles by drinking heavily one night.
And all went well until I had to pay
Despite the initial success, a problem arose when he had to settle the bill for the drinks.
Yeah the bill was loaded, far too loaded for me (until he had to pay)
The bill was excessively high and challenging for the speaker to handle.
Hey bartender, you know, this just can't be
The speaker expresses disbelief to the bartender about the exorbitant bill.
He said Do you know how many drinks you had? (until he had to pay)
The bartender questions the speaker about the number of drinks consumed.
I said Really man, get off my back
The speaker responds defensively, asking the bartender to back off.
I said I don't know (he don't know)
The speaker admits not knowing the exact number of drinks consumed.
Unless you tell me so, well I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty, the speaker emphasizes the need for information to determine the events.
Then I finally arrived and my wife was kinda upset (she wasn't in her bed)
The speaker returns home, finding his upset wife who wasn't in bed.
I said What is wrong and why aren't you in bed?
He inquires about the issue, asking why she isn't in bed and what's wrong.
Well she had been waiting and she couldn't get asleep (she wasn't in her bed)
The wife had been waiting for the speaker and couldn't sleep until he arrived.
I said That's fine by me, but now just let me be
The speaker expresses a desire for solitude after a night of drinking.
She said Do you know what time that you arrived? (she wasn't in her bed)
The wife questions the time of the speaker's arrival.
I said Woman tell me, your guess is mine
The speaker asks his wife to guess the arrival time, indicating his lack of awareness.
I said I don't know (he don't know)

Unless you tell me so, well I don't know.
