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
