Divorce Separation Blues - The Avett Brothers

Written by：Timothy Seth Avett/Scott Yancey Avett/Robert William Crawford/Jr.

I'm gonna keep on livin'

Even though I sometimes do

Fantasize about disappearin'

Down in the ocean blue

Just to get some peace and quiet

From the warfare inside my heart

Why I've been under ear-splittin' fire

Ever since we've been apart

Well I'm gonna wash the dishes

Pay the bills and watch the news

I got the tough education

No celebration

Divorce separation blues

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 sleepin' in their bed so peaceful

Dreamin' with the love they choose

I got the tough education

No celebration

Divorce separation blues

Well 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 hit 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 care who's talkin'

I'm worried for myself and you

And I'll sign on

The line beneath my name

The road is gone

We 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 got the tough education

No celebration

Divorce separation blues

I got the tough education

No celebration

Bad communication

Worst interpretation

Love deprivation

Pain allocation

Soul devastation

Cold desolation

Life complication

Resuscitation
