Jerry Reed - She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft) lyrics
I guess it was back in 63 when eating my cooking got the better of me so I asked this little girl I was going with to be my wife. She said she would so I said I do, but I would have said I wouldn't if I just knew how saying I do was gonna screw up all my life. Well it wudn't to long before the lust all died, and I admitt I weren't surprised the day I came home and found my suitcase sittin out on the porch. Well, I decided right then and there I was gonna do whats right and give her her fair share, but brother I didn't nowhere say it was gonna be that much! She got the goldmine, I got the shaft! They splitt it all down the middle, and they give her the better half. Well it all seems kinda funny, but it hurts to much to laugh! She got the goldmine, I got the shaft. Man you ain't heard nuttin yet, they give her my color television set, then they giver the house, the kids and both the cars! Then they start talking bout child support, alimony, and cost of the court, it didn't take me very long to figure out how far in the toilet I was! I am telling you they done made a mistake, cause it adds up to more than this cowboy makes, and everything I had worth taking they already took. She is living like a queen on allimony, and I am working two shifts and eatting bologna asking myself, why didn't you just learn how to cook? She got the gold mine, I got the shaft! They splitt it all down the middle, then they give her the better half. I guess it all sounds funny, but it hurts to much t laugh! She got the goldmine, I got the shaft. Don't guess i'll need this bill fold no more, I probably be toating food stamps, get it judge! Ahw hell... |
