Divorce Blues

Jackie Lomax


I didn't know that she could go so far
I didn't know she could go so far
She took the house, she took the car
She took that money I was keeping in an old fruit jar
I didn't know she's gonna go so far

I didn't see that she could be so mean
I didn't see that she could be so mean
All the signs of discontent
You know they croppped right up soon as my money was spent
I didn't see she's gonna be so mean

I might've known I'd be alone so soon
I might've known I'd be alone so soon
She took the kids, she took a hike
She took my gold pocket watch and my ten-speed bike
I might've known I'd be alone so soon

I didn't know that she would go so far
I didn't see that she could be so mean
I might've known I'd be alone so soon
I thought you'd be kinder to me this time
