lyrics

yesterday we had a party for my baby
all here friends were there
in the corner her momma was crying
weren't a smile nowhere

there was a table full of catered hors-d'oeuvres
her daddy sprung for an open bar
the liquor didn't help much
to ease my nerves
i just wanna be where you are

yesterday we had a party for my baby
got a ride home in a black town car
all alone to that empty house
that's where you're supposed to be

everyone was dressed in their finest blacks
i had a red rose on my coat
that preacher did a real fine job
old man didn't even use his notes

when it was done they all stood in line
to come and shake my hand
i sure appreciate y'all being here
but you won't ever understand

yesterday we had a party for my baby
got a ride home in a black town car
all alone to that empty house
that's where you're supposed to be
that's where you're supposed to be
