Well, he walked into work
And he told his boss
You ain't got to worry 'bout laying me off
Cause this dang ole jo
It just ain't worth it
I'm tired of being a stranger to my wife and kids
And he said before he walked away
I'm quitting starting today

Starting today I'm giving up on my old life
I just hope it ain't too late to make my world alright
I put this off for way too long than I can wait
So I'm quitting starting today

Well, he walked into that ole bar and grill
He said man I ain't got no time to kill
So pull out my tough and figure what I owe
Then he laid a hundred down and said I gotta go
The last time to see me in this place
Cause I'm quitting starting today

Starting today I'm giving up on my old life
I just hope it ain't too late to make my world alright
I put this off for way too long than I can wait
So I'm quitting starting today

Well, he walked into an empty house
Found a letter that his wife's heart had poured out
She said when you get here and I'm not home
Think about all those nights I spent alone
And through it all I love you anyway
But I'm quitting starting today

Starting today I'm giving up on my old life
I just hope it ain't too late to make my world alright
I put this off for way too long than I can wait
So I'm quitting starting today
Yeah, I'm quitting starting today

Well, he walked into that ole bar and grill
He said I guess I got some time to kill
