It's nice to get a new one posted. I've been so busy with work that writing has been forced to take a back seat. Thanks to Bob for putting this together
She’s Lookin’ for Her Next Ex-Husband
Words by Jeff Mondak
Music and Performance by Bob Clay
Her leather skirt shows too much thigh
Her mirror must’ve learned to lie
She walks in and we all know why
She’s gonna treat some poor boy wrong
Garage sale body, designer clothes
Blood-shot eyes but a brand-new nose
She keeps on taking ‘cause the world still owes
And this is her favorite song
Yeah, listen while she sings along
She’s looking for her next ex-husband
Tonight she’s gonna say “I do”
She’s s looking for her next ex-husband
And, son, she’s got her eye on you
He’s quiet, nervous, kinda shy
His pocket holds a folded tie
She reads her chances in his eye
His weakness makes her strong
When closing time starts drawing near
She leans and whispers in his ear
“My place is not too far from here
“We can party all night long
“And listen to my favorite song”
She’s looking for her next ex-husband
Tonight she’s gonna say “I do”
She’s s looking for her next ex-husband
And, son, she’s got her eye on you
She plays her nightly lottery
At bars in Knoxville, Tennessee
Losing never brings regret
She lights her morning cigarette
And dreams that soon, perhaps tonight
She’ll find a man to treat her right
She’s looking for her next ex-husband
Tonight she’s gonna say “I do”
She’s s looking for her next ex-husband
And, son, she’s got her eye on you
