She Got The Goldmine (1982)
Well, I guess it was back in 63 when eating my cooking got the better of me
So I asked this little girl I was going with to be my wife
She said she would so I said I do but Iâd have said I wouldn't, if I'd just knew
How saying I do was gonna screw up all of my life
Well, the first few years werenât all that bad Iâll never forget the good times we had
Cause Iâm reminded every month when I send her the child support
Well, it wasnât too long till the lust all died, and Iâll admit I wasnât too surprised
When I come home and found my suitcase sitting out on the porch
Well, I tried to get in; sheâd changed the locks
Then, I found a note taped on the mailbox that said, Goodbye, Turkey
My attorney will be in touch
So I decided, right then & there
I was gonna do whatâs right: give her, her fair share
But, brother, I didnât know her share was gonna be that much
She got the gold mine. I got the shaft
They split it right down the middle, and they give her the better half
Well it all sounds sort of funny, but it hurts too much to laugh
She got the gold mine I got the shaft
Listen, you ainât heard nothing yet, why they give her the color television set
Then they give her the house, the kids, and both of the cars
Then they started talking about child support, alimony, and the cost of the court
Didnât take long to figure out how far in the toilet I was
Iâm telling ya, they have made a mistake
Cause it adds up to more than this cowboy makes
Besides, everything Iâve had worth taken, theyâve already took
While sheâs living like a queen on alimony Iâm working two shifts & eating bologna
Asking myself, why didnât you just learn how to cook?
They give her the gold mine they give me the shaft
They said they's splitting it all down the middle, and she got the better half
Well, it all sounds mighty funny, but it hurts too much to laugh
She got the gold mine. I got the shaft
She got the gold mine. I got the shaft
They split it right down the middle, and they give her the better half.
Well, I guess it all sounds funny, but it hurts too much to laugh
She got the gold mine. I got the shaft
I got your shaft. Well, I donât have to worry about toting a billfold, no more. I let my wife tote it; Iâm gonna be carrying food stamps. You get it judge?
