Ray Lawrence Jr. Check's in the Mail lyrics

Verse 1:
Well they repossessed my ex's missing alimony payment
Like they repossessed my pickup truck last night
Now she won't drive me to the bar, but she sure drove me to drinking
We got divorced because she likes to fight

Chorus:
I can't afford to pay attention till she got my whole check
But if I paid attention my life wouldn't be a wreck
Didn't hear it when they told me this marriage would fail
But I hear the postman leaving now the check's in the mail

Verse 2:
Now she don't want me anymore but she likes my hard earned pay
She never took my love but she took everything away
She took me to the poor house the day she took me to court
I wonder why we got married anyway



Chorus


Verse 3:
Will she meet a millionaire that'll take her far away
I can afford to eat because she wouldn't take my pay
She wants so bad to kill me but she won't let me die
All she cares about is money anyway

Chorus
I didn't hear it when they told me this marriage would fail
Now I hear the postman leaving now the check's in the mail
