The Day She Got Divorced Lyrics - 12 Stories - Brandy Clark

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
