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
