Verse 1 I cooked and cleaned, washed and ironed your clothes, I raised those kids by myself, the good Lord knows. You smoked and drank, gambled night and day, the sheriff finally came around and they took you away.
Chorus I'm taking my ring to the pawn shop today, now that you're gone, it's my time to play. I put a match to my wedding gown, because now that you're gone, I'm going to town.
Verse 2 I'll find a man that treats me like a lady. We'll talk and dance, dance like we are crazy. He'll drive a fancy car to his house up on the hill. We'll be having fun in bed while you're rotting in county jail.
Chorus
Verse 3 Who'd ever thought they would let you ought so early. With you in jail, I didn't have to worry. I changed the locks, but you still broke down the door, and I shot you dead and there you lay, Just like the dog you are.
They called it justified, you're six feet underground. Me and sheriff, we're still having fun, now that you ain't around.
