And now that I'm used to the couch, you left the bed
And where in the hell did you go with my toothbrush?
And where in the hell have you been for the last three days?
You didn't leave a bar of soap when you left me
And you didn't stick around to see the teardrops on my face
Reverend Horton Heat released Where In The Hell Did You Go With My Toothbrush on Tue Jul 24 2012.
