Lyrics

I met Willie by the still, he was brewing a batch
He had a short cigar and one last match
He was telling me about his latest troubles with the government
He had child support and alimony
He was looking depressed and kind of lonely
Just trying to figure out where all his hard earned money went
Well I'll be go to hell, he said
I got nothing but a Ford and a barn full of hay
If it weren't for horses and divorces
I'd be a lot better off today
Well I said Willie that sounds like a song
He said son you know you may not be all wrong
Could you give me a little piece of the pie if you make it a hit
I got a '51 Ford I'd like to fix up
I got two sick ponies and one sick pup
And my third wife's coming today to take my TV set
Well I'll be go to hell, he said
I got nothing but a Ford and a barn full of hay
If it weren't for horses and divorces
I'd be a lot better off today
Well God bless poor old Willie McCann
You know he's always been a good hard working man
He bought me a beer last night down at the Lost and Found
He said horses and women are fine sure enough
But if you don't treat them right things are gonna get rough
Believe me I got these four year marriages down
Well I'll be go to hell, he said
I got nothing but a Ford and a barn full of hay
If it weren't for horses and divorces
I'd have a lot more money and less gray hair
I might even be a millionaire
If it weren't for horses and divorces
I'd be a lot better off today
