Best divorce song ever...

OK, my vote is for Kenny Rogers 'The Gambler'. The chorus is so true.

You gotta know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run

You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done.

Tammy Wynette (I think)

Awr D.I.V.O.R.C.E becomes final today....

Lol!

Of course! Can't believe I haven't already got that on my Spotify 'Country' playlist. Added it now, plus George Jones and Tammy Wynette 'Golden Ring'

I have a joke :)

What happens to a country and western bloke when he sings backwards?

He gets his farm, his wife, his kids and his dog back :) :)

I recognise that's a bit sexist but it does make me titter. And yes, I do like country and western music :)

James Taylor, Used to Be her Town Too:

But now he's gone and life goes on, nothing lasts forever, oh no.
She gets the house and the garden, he gets the boys in the band.
Some of them his friends, some of them her friends, some of them understand.
Lord knows that this is just a small town city, yes, and everyone can see you fall.
It's got nothing to do with pity, I just wanted to give you a call...

Billy Connolly's D I V O R C E is the best. It's a parody of Tammy Wynette's version. It contains the best line ever in a song;
'Both my wife and my wee scabby dog will soon be hauled away'.

Alanis Morissette 'Simple Together' warning: will make you weep buckets I still can't listen to it:

You've been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
Can't go to you for consolation
Cause we're off limits during this transition
This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can't stop bumping into things
I thought we'd be simple together
I thought we'd be happy together
Thought we'd be limitless together
I thought we'd be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken
You've been my soulmate and then some
I remembered you the moment I met you
With you I knew god's face was handsome
With you I saw final expansion
This loss is numbing me
It pierces my chest
And I can't stop dropping everything
I thought we'd be sexy together
Thought we'd be evolving together
I thought we'd have children together
I thought we'd be family together
But I was sadly mistaken
If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe
I thought we'd be genius together
I thought we'd be healing together
I thought we'd be growing together
Thought we'd be adventurous together
But I was sadly mistaken
Thought we'd be exploring together
Thought we'd be inspired together
I thought we'd be flying together
Thought we'd be on fire together
But I was sadly mistaken
