Story behind the song
Most divorces these days are ridiculous fighting , mostly about money. The way I see it , you just keep quiet about the spouse's cheating when you already know,,,, until he or she breaks the news about wanting a divorce because he or she found someone else, and by that time, you are over it . It is, what it is...Then, you take what is actually personally yours and in a sweet way, tell the fancy pants spouse to jam it, yet, giving them more, because they are greedy. Their greed alone will do them in. Then, you walk away happy. ........In this case...The Children are already grown up and married.

C'mon Bucky, C'mon lady...We are leaving
You take the house, I'll take the horses,
This won't be like other divorces
You take the car and I'll take the truck,
With a good spare tire so I don't get stuck
You can have the stocks, I'm not into wall street,
I'll take the camper, I'm not into concrete
Keep your beach house with the built in bar,
I'll take the dog and I'll take my guitars
My give a damn switch is really broken,
I won't settle for a slapstick token
I don't need your money, I'm not jokin',
Maybe it's time I've become unspoken
Here's to a new life....
I know about your girlfriend, but, that's alright,
She tries to be me, day and night
Why does she copy everything that I do,
Is that the only way she could ever have you
She even tries to sound like me,
The two of you should get along perfectly
One, two, three, four, Lekzee's going out the door,
Five , six, seven, eight, You never appreciate
Ahhh, Sweet Freedom,... Freedom, I've waited for this day to come
Here are the diamonds, I wore them to please you,
Take the mercedes, You can keep that too
Wealthy people are the only ones that reach you,
Yes, I agree, we're really through
Well I saw this coming for a long long time,
Your rich man life can stop on a dime
All you care about is silver and gold,
Everything you touch is bought and sold
I like country folks in a church with a steeple,
I got tired of plastic people
We are different as night and day,
I can't wait to get away
I know about your girlfriend, but, that's alright,
She tries to be me,day and night
Why does she copy everything that I do,
Is that the only way she will ever have you
She even tries to sound like me,
The two of you should get along perfectly
