Divorce Separation Blues Lyrics

The Avett Brothers

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I got the tough education
No celebration
Divorce separation blues

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I got the tough education
No celebration
Divorce separation blues

[Bridge]
Well, I'll sign on
The line beneath my name
The road is gone
I can't go back the way we came

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
And I'll sign on
The line beneath my name
The road is gone
We can't go back the way we came

[Verse 4]
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

[Outro]
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
Divorce separation blues
