He took everything of value from me Except a house with a busted sink He thought I was screwed With the denim divorce blues He wanted to bankrupt dreams But little did he know Starting over is a goal I’ve a house, making home I’m proud to hold my own Busted sink is remodeling gold I started a new fancy trend A bed and breakfast cool Inn Women come who have clout To figure life out Or have a girls night with friends The last thing he said to me Is you’re going to be sorry But no I am not For happiness is a lot I’m rich now as a free divorcee
