Lyrics

c
well you don't love me
g
but you love the cash
am
and the judge done ruled
f
you get more than half

c - g - f - c
i'm going back
to my place alone
there's no place in this town
for an old soul like mine

c - f
well it's a good thing i'm calling you ex
g - f - c
to far from the bottom did i fall
am c
paying dues for past mistakes
f g c
lost it all, for alimony's sake

c
and we never saw eye to eye
g
one of us always trying to be right
am f
and that aint no way to build a home

c g f c
we once swore till death do us part
but something much worse done came along
if the devil has a friend
he'll be wearing a suit

[chorus]

This is a solid character song. I like how the verses shift from lament to reflection. A solid delivery!

too many of my friends have been stuck in this situation. when she doesnt love you anymore, you not dont just lose your wife, but half of everything you own. sometimes its your own time. other times, she just hooked up with somebody else.
