You Better Get a Lawyer 

©1990 Andrew Calhoun, recorded on Hope. 

She wants the kids, the house, the car, 
You better get a lawyer 
You can keep the dogs and your old guitar, 
Better get a lawyer 
You don't count, you don't rate 
She's gonna move right out of state 
You better get a lawyer 

You shouldn't get caught running around 
You better get a lawyer 
Never shoulda put her daddy down 
You better get a lawyer 
She's got the junk, she's got the facts 
You get the trunk and you get the axe 
You better get a lawyer 

It was so fine, it was so sweet 
You better get a lawyer 
You're running into debt, 'cause you're dead meat 
You better get a lawyer 
To tie the knot just takes two 
To untie one takes her and you 
And you better get a lawyer 

Someday you'll say, when all this ends 
You better get a lawyer 
Maybe you two would've stayed friends 
If it wasn't for the lawyers
