Song: Check?s In The Mail
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C
Well they repossessed my ex?s missing alimony payment
G D
Like they repossessed my pickup truck last night
G C
Now she won?t drive me to the bar, but she sure drove me to drinking
G D G
We got divorced because she likes to fight
[Chorus]
G C
I can?t afford to pay attention till she got my whole check
G A D
But if I paid attention my life wouldn?t be a wreck
G C
Didn?t hear it when they told me this marriage would fail
G D G
But I hear the postman leaving now the check?s in the mail
[Verse 2]
G C
Now she don?t want me anymore but she likes my hard earned pay
G A D
She never took my love but she took everything away
G C
She took me to the poor house the day she took me to court
G D G
I wonder why we got married anyway
[Chorus]
G C
I didn?t hear it when they told me this marriage would fail
G D G
Now I hear the postman leaving now the check?s in the mail
[Verse 3]
G C
Will she meet a millionaire that?ll take her far away
G A D
I can afford to eat because she wouldn?t take my pay
G C
She wants so bad to kill me but she won?t let me die
G D G
All she cares about is money anyway
[Chorus]
G C
I didn?t hear it when they told me this marriage would fail
G D G
Now I hear the postman leaving now the check?s in the mail
End on
G
