Jackie Lomax: "Divorce Blues" Lyrics

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
