an ode to DIVORCE

lyrics

Countdown to the borderline
She gets hers and I get mine
The whole shebang comes down today
We both go our separate ways

It’s like we just woke up from a dream
We bought the whole package lock stock and magazine
There ain’t no cupid shootin’ arrows from above
It’s time to pay the price of love

One step forward and two steps back
It shouldn’t be this hard to keep it on track
The stakes are high but the cards were marked
You can make the down-payment but the yards are hard

I got all I need now tied in a box
I learned my lesson in the school of hard knocks
You got your hearts and flowers but when push comes to shove
It’s time to pay the price of love

Spent two solid days out here on the road
With my thumb in the air and my back to the cold
She said you need to find yourself someone who cares
I said I don’t know where I’m goin’ but I’ll know when I get there

Now I don’t mind telling you that I think it’s a shame
This reality TV life is just a game
Nobody stands for ideals any more
Even my generation votes for greed and war

There are places in heart that even angels fear to tread
We’ve seen the signs but we ain’t been there yet
There’s room enough to fly between the hawks and the doves
It’s time to pay the price of love
