I put some potatoes in to bake Picked up a couple of real nice steaks I'm chillin' her favorite Chilean wine Everything was right on time But she won't be comin' home tonight They canceled the flight Now you can imagine my disappointment in hearin' that Looks like dinner's just gonna be me and a cat This has happened to me just too many times I feel like I'm payin' for somebody else's crime So as I sip the wine and whine I got the low-down, snow-bound Connecticut blues The part I love to hate the most Is getting more of somethin' I can't use I've got tears runnin' down my face I've got blues all over the place The good times just won't let me in I tried over and over again So as I sip the wine and whine I got them low-down, snow-bound Connecticut blues
