Ain't this the truth.... :o)
Well I guess it was back in ’63
When eating my cookin got the better of me
So I asked this little girl I was goin’ with to be my wife
Well, she said she would
So I said “I do”
But I would have said I wouldn’t
If I just knew
By saying how sayin, “I do”
Was going to screw up all my life
Well the first few years weren’t all that bad
I’ll never forget the good times we had
Cause I’m reminded every month when I send her the child support
Well it wasn’t to long till the lust all died
And I’ll admit I wasn’t too surprised
The day I came home and found my suitcase
Sittin outside on the porch
Well I tried to get in
She changed the lock
Well I found this note taped on the mailbox
It said “Goodbye turkey, my attorney will be in touch!”
So I decided right then and there
I was going to do what’s right
Give her, her fair share
But brother, I never said it was goin to be that much
She got the gold mine
I got the shaft
They split it right down the middle
And gave her the better half
Well it all sounds sort of funny
Lord it hurts to much to laugh
She got the goldmine
I got the shaft
Now listen, you ain’t heard nothin yet
Well they give her the color television set
Then they give her the house, the kids and both the cars
See, then they start talkin about child support
Alimony and the cost of the court
It didn’t take me long to figure out
How far in the toilet I was
I’m tellin you they have made a mistake
Cause it adds up to more than this guy makes
Besides everything I had worth taking
They’ve already took
While she’s livin like a queen on alimony
I’m workin two shifts eatin balogna
Askin myself, “why didn’t you just learn how to cook?”
She got the gold mine
I got the shaft
They split it right down the middle
And gave her the better half
Well it all sounds sort of funny
Lord it hurts to much to laugh
She got the goldmine
I got the shaft
