The rev of the engine was all I heard
And these were her final words
As she jumped into my car and pulled away
She said my lawyer will be in touch with you
And as for marriage well we are through
And I will be back for the house and half of your cash

I prayed please dear Jesus
What did I do to deserve this life?
Yes I do Mr. Preacher
I take her to be my future ex wife

Married me because I was funny
She used to love all my buddies
Now she hates each and every one
She used to hate to be alone
Now she can't stand it when I come home
I looked and said honey what have I done

I prayed please dear Jesus
What did I do to deserve this life?
Yes I do Mr. Preacher
I take her to be my future ex wife

Love to me has always been a mystery
I've never understood the philosophy of the game
First comes love then come marriage
A house a mortgage and a load I can't carry
And they leave you draggin that ball and chain

I prayed please dear Jesus
What did I do to deserve this life?
Yes I do Mr. Preacher
I take her to be my future ex wife

I prayed please dear Jesus
What did I do to deserve this life?
Yes I do Mr. Preacher
I take her to be my future ex wife
