The Day She Got Divorced

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 oughtta clean this house, but what the hell Cause it's just as dirty as the day before Yeah, she's divorced
