Charles M. Moore - Divorced

The wife has just left me
the dog had just died
she wasn't upset
and I wasn't surprised
she sold the house
and I rented a flat
I guess now I'm gone
she won't want me back

She hit the bank account
I hit the wine
she wanted divorced
from that pig and that swine
she wanted freedom
I felt I was trapped
I'm sure now I'm gone
she won't want me back

She changed her lifestyle
I sold my car
she waltzed with the in crowd
I sat at the bar
she got promoted
I took in a cat
I think now I'm gone
she won't want me back

She goes out riding
I walk the streets
she has friends to dinner
I avoid meat
I feel I'm still lucky
a shirt on my back
I couldn't afford her
I don't want her back.
