I'm gonna keep on living Even though I sometimes do Fantasize about disappearing Down in the ocean blue Just to get some peace and quiet From the warfare inside my heart Well I've been under ear-splitting fire Ever since we've been apart Well I'm gonna wash the dishes Pay the bills and watch the news I've got the tough education No celebration Divorce separation blues Yodel eh hee yodelo lodi lay he yodel lay he Well I'm gonna keep on waking And rising up before the sun And lying in the dark wide awake When everybody else is done And sleeping in their beds so peaceful Dreaming with the love they choose I've got the tough education No celebration Divorce separation blues Yodel eh hee yodelo lodi lay he yodel lay he And I'll sign on The line beneath my name The road is gone I can't go back the way we came Well neither one of us Really wanna hear the town We try to keep our friends at bay Try to keep the gossip down Well some folks just want the dirt And don't even care if it's true But then again who cares who's talking I'm worried for myself and you And I'll sign on The line beneath my name The road is gone I can't go back the way we came They say one of every two Bound to be set aflame Every level of resentment Responsibility and blame Well now I'm bound to break a promise One I made to God and you I've got the tough education No celebration Divorce separation blues I've got the tough education No celebration Bad communication Worse interpretation Love deprivation Pain allocation Soul devastation Cold desolation Life complication Resuscitation Divorce separation blues Yodel eh hee, olay hee, olay hee, olay hee Yodel eh hee yodelo lodi lay he yodel lay he
