She got up and put her makeup on
|
Made a pot of coffee extra strong
|
At the kitchen table sucking on a cigarette
|
|
Read the paper in a cloud of smoke
|
While the dirty dinner dishes soaked
|
Woke up the kids and coaxed them out of bed
|
|
Then she burnt the toast just like the day before
|
The day she got divorced
|
Story continues below
|
|
Left the kids with the girl next door
|
Parked her car at the county court
|
Round and round 'bout the child support he'll never pay
|
|
Judge said we're gonna have to start
|
Without the party of the second part
|
Cause the party of the second part was MIA
|
|
He was getting drunk just like the day before
|
The day she got divorced
|
|
Didn't feel any different than it ever had
|
She wasn't that sorry, wasn't that sad
|
Couldn't love him any less or hate him anymore
|
The day she got divorced
|
|
Wasn't working, had the whole day off
|
Bought a bottle then she called her boss
|
Waited for him at the motel lot til he got there
|
|
First he told her that her hair looked nice
|
Promised he was gonna leave his wife
|
Had two more lines but she didn't care
|
|
Cause it was just like every other day before
|
The day she got divorced
|
|
Didn't feel any different than it ever had
|
She wasn't that sorry, wasn't that sad
|
Couldn't love him any less or hate him anymore
|
The day she got divorced
|
|
Kids are yakking with their hungry mouths
|
Dog scratching laying on the couch
|
Think she really oughta clean this house, but what the hell
|
|
Cause it's just as dirty as the day before
|
|
Yeah, she's divorced
|
