She had enough of his BS!

lyrics

NOW THAT YOU’RE GONE, I’M GOIN’ TO TOWN
By Howard Levinson

I cooked and cleaned, washed and ironed your clothes
I raised those kids by myself the good Lord knows
You smoked and drank and gambled night and day
The Sheriff finally came around and they took you away

I’m taking your ring to the pawnshop today
Now that you’re gone, it’s my time to play
I put a match to my wedding gown
Cause now that you’re gone, I’m goin’ to town.

I’ll find a man that treats me like a lady
We’ll talk and drink and 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 sittin’ in county jail.

I’m taking your ring to the pawnshop today
Now that you’re gone, it’s my time to play
I put a match to my wedding gown
Cause now that you’re gone, I’m goin’ to town.

Who’d ever thought they’d let you out so early
With you in jail, I didn’t have a worry
I changed the locks but you still broke down the door
I shot you dead and there you lay, just like the dog you are.

They called it justified
You’re 6 feet underground
Sheriff and I are still having fun…
Now that you ain’t around

Well I’m taking your ring to the pawnshop today
Now that you’re gone, it’s my time to play
I put a match to my wedding gown
Cause now that you’re gone, now that you’re gone,
now that you’re gone,
I’m goin’ to town.
