On the road to Happiness, I think I got a flat My husband's leavin And I'm still grievin Now what do you think of that? He says "Honey, I love you more" But it feels just like a divorce The cryin's just the same As he walks away And I say I don't think I'll get there And I don't think I can 34 years and these brick walls, And damn my head's hurtin' Now you're movin' on off to Boston And you've packed up all your stuff The landlady says I'm not welcome And all you do is shrug I don't know what to say Shouldn't you stand up for me? The cryin's still the same As I walk away And I say I don't think I'll get there And I don't think I can 34 years and these brick walls, And damn my heart's broken On the road to happiness My engine's broken down I just don't have the resources To get to the next town I chose the wrong career My boss hates me, yes it's clear Will all jobs be the same If I walk away? And I say I don't think I'll get there And I don't think I can 34 years and these brick walls, And damn my head's hurtin' On the road to happiness My transmission died I just can't seem to shift the gears To redirect my life I always feel so lost Every gain comes with great cost Will the struggle be the same All along the way? And I say I don't think I'll get there And I don't think I can 34 years and these brick walls, And damn my head's hurtin' It's been 24 years and these brick walls, and damn my head's hurtin'

STARS ABOVE We used to camp under the stars and stay up late Talk all night and share our dreams and resonate Sitting by the fire in the setting sun Didn’t think that our adventures would ever be done But now life is different and so are you The fire in your heart for me has been subdued You once confessed your love for me under the stars I thought we’d go far, but now you’re so far PRECHORUS Now you’ve run off down the trail without me I search for what was but it can’t be... CHORUS Of everything I’ve lost in life, what hurts is your love Only thing that stays with me are the stars above Nothing in life sticks around too long, Neither will I since your love is gone, Only thing that stays with me are the stars above Until I met you I’d been all alone Had to figure out everything on my own Didn’t think that you’d add another broken home Now it’s time to pack up everything that I own PRECHORUS II And I’ve run off down the trail without you I’m searching for a sunrise now that we’re through.... CHORUS II Of everything I’ve lost in life, what hurts is your love Only thing that stays with me are the stars above Nothing in life sticks around too long, Neither will I since ya done me wrong, Only thing that stays with me are the stars above I’m leaving you, never looking back Hike down the river by the railroad tracks Only thing that stays with me are the stars above

Sad and alone When are you coming home? It's so empty before you leave Sad and depressed Didn't pass the test Seems like all I do now is grieve Oh my world's upside down Cause you're leavin' town All I have is a frown And a live country song I started with nothing Thought we had something Now I've lost everything And it's all so wrong Sad and alone When are you coming home? It's so empty before you leave Sad and depressed Didn't pass the test Seems like all I do now is grieve Oh I'm torn up inside With nowhere to hide Feels like part of me died When you walked out that door I started with nothing Thought we had something But now I've lost everything And I want more Sad and alone When are you coming home? It's so empty before you leave Sad and depressed Didn't pass the test Seems like all I do now is grieve Now I'm in my own hell As far as I can tell Nothing can break the spell Since you've been gone I started with nothing Thought we had something But now I've lost everything Except for this song Sad and alone When are you coming home? It's so empty before you leave Sad and depressed Didn't pass the test Seems like all I do now is grieve Now I'm lookin for work Feels like you're such a jerk Leavin me in the lurch As you chase your career I started with nothing Thought we had something But now I've lost everything Except for my fear Sad and alone When are you coming home? It's so empty before you leave Sad and depressed Didn't pass the test Seems like all I do now is grieve Don't know what I should do Gave it all up for you The higher salary too Thought that you were worth more I started with nothing Thought we had something But now I've lost everything Plus the one I adore Sad and alone When are you coming home? It's so empty before you leave Sad and depressed Didn't pass the test Seems like all that I do now is grieve Seems like all I do is grieve Seems like all that I do is grieve

Cheatin' husband's turned his back on me Cheatin' husband's caused such misery I thought we were friends But he's called it to an end By foolin' around with Julie He sticks his dick everywhere He doesn't even care Whoooah cheatin' husband Why don't you see? What you're doin' to me Cheatin' husband Whoah cheatin' husband Cheatin' husband's turned his back on me Cheatin' husband why don't you see? What you did was wrong We've been together for so long What the fuck were you thinking? When you stick your dick everywhere You don't even care

We spent time together In all kinds of weather, rain or shine In that time i never Thought there’d be a day when you weren’t mine Well I gave Everything That you asked for Gave my love And my life All to you It wasn’t enough For your love Ya thought you were clever Acted like you were better than me Seems you lost all respect Right when you got your PhD Well I stayed All those days And I waited Gave my time And my mind All to you It wasn’t enough For your love Then came a post doc And the long distance life again Should’ve known better When you gave me up for your research friends Well I drove All of those Years I waited All those miles Just for smiles To be with you It wasn’t enough For your love Then you were a professor Far too important to have lunch with me Stopped sharing your ideas But ya had all that time to spend with Julie Well I gave everything that you wished for Gave my hopes and my dreams all to you It wasn’t enough For you to stay true It wasn’t enough For your love

Driven out of my colorful home by the homewrecker and you Now I’m living all alone with everything to do 20 years of hopes and fears and all the tears to sort through All because it was too much for ya to stay true Had to move out of my place in the dead of night Carload after carload for your ridiculous deadline You didn’t care it wasn’t fair or if I was doin alright Stuck with your work cause you’re such a jerk instead of a nice guy Now I’m living my life without color Cause you went to the arms of another It’s just the whitewashed walls of the apartment halls And not the warmth of my own home Living my life without color Black and white kitchen cupboards Everything’s gray since you went away, Since you decided to roam Went from tons of natural lighting to only four windows Still sitting here and pining for the sunshine that you stole Well you say you never loved me, and I have to say it shows Why’d you string me along all these years? Why was I the quarry that you chose? Now there’s blank stares on the neighbors, not the brightness of a smile Everyone is new here; no one I’ve known for quite a while No friendly faces in all the spaces since you decided to file All alone in my new home awaiting the big trial Now I’m living my life without color Cause you went to the arms of another It’s just the whitewashed walls of the apartment halls And not the warmth of my own home Living my life without color Black and white kitchen cupboards Everything’s gray since you went away, Since you decided to roam So many people movin' in and out Always hear the neighbors when they start to shout Sounds like elephants live above my head And the screaming from next door could wake the dead Now I’m living my life without color Cause you went to the arms of another It’s just the whitewashed walls of the apartment halls And not the warmth of my own home Living my life without color Black and white kitchen cupboards Everything’s gray since you went away, Since you decided to roam Now everything’s gray since you went away, Since you decided to roam

White supremacism, classism, politics, and dirty tricks These are a few of my least favorite things Homophobes, elitists, bigots, and chauvinists These are a few of my least favorite things #MeToo moments, school lockdowns Poverty, misery, and executions Fake news attitudes, never listen to the truth These are a few of my least favorite things Shooting of the week, shooting of the week Another guy’s frustrations taken out upon the meek CHORUS I want equality, yeah for you and me I want equality, For every hu-man being I want equality, so we can live our dreams I want equality, I want equality Homelessness, hopelessness, suicide Basic inequality, lack of human rights Rich keep getting richer, we can’t get ahead If global warming doesn’t stop we’re all gonna be dead Mass extinction of species And whatever’s happening to all of the bees Reproductive rights, can’t walk alone at night The keys to the country only belong to the white Native people suffering, driven off their land Privileged people whining when their taxes lend a hand Democracy’s replaced with plutocracy More and more this is no more a place I wanna be It all comes down to how much cash you can pay to succeed CHORUS

Every day Is a struggle Will I break? Will I buckle? The past is something that still haunts me The future only seems to taunt me They say you survived But I feel dead inside They say good for you But I'd rather not have gone through all of this

The only object I should be Is the one of your affection Don’t need you to provide for me Or offer your protection PRECHORUS: Don’t call me your better half Because I’m better whole Ain’t here to be your kitchen staff Or wash all of your clothes CHORUS: Oh I’m not your ball and chain I’ve lifted you up again and again But you’ve been draggin’ on me ---- ya ball and chain I’m not selfish or insane You’re spreading lies again and again Yeah you’ve been raggin’ on me With your smear campaign I always thought ya had my back But now you’ve stabbed me in it You took away the life I had To satisfy your image PRE: Does it stroke your ego To date a person half your age? Ya tried to get my retirement To pay for your wedding Don’t call me your better half Because I’m better whole You can’t be my soulmate If you haven’t got a soul CHORUS How many will be sacrificed At the altar of your ego How come you can’t realize The careers we had to let go PRE: Your job’s not more meaningful Than anything I do Why did all the sacrifices Go from me to you? Don’t call me your better half Because I’m better whole You can’t be my soulmate If you haven’t got a soul CHORUS He-ll hath no fury like a Woman divorced You’ve broken all your promises--- I’ll see your ass in court PRE: Thought you’re the love of my life And now you’re leavin’ me for dead Planned your next weddin’ on my birthday Oh I will make you pay for it Don’t call me your better half Because I’m better whole You can’t be my soulmate If you haven’t got a soul CHORUS X2

Youuuuu ain’t the one for me As tiiime passes it’s more plain to see Yeah yooooouuuuu ain’t the one for me Cause I would rather spend my time with someone who don’t give me misery I’ve had about enough of you Lookin back it’s amazing what ya put me through Well I’m sick and tired of your stonewalling Ya even lied about the stones in my diamond ring I should have left years ago you know it’s true You broke your wedding vows and all your promises too I always thought you were good but you’re an evil dude And your stubborn selfishness is just annoying and rude CHORUS Now I need someone who respects boundaries Someone who can validate my feelings Someone supportive, who cares about me And actually realizes that I have needs Oh I want someone who can make me smile Put down their work and talk to me for a while Hold my hand and tell me it’s ok And face a new adventure with me every day CHORUS Yeah I want a friend who makes me laugh all night Calls me on the phone to see I’m doin alright Apologizes when they had a role in the fight Lets me be myself instead of making me uptight Oh I want someone who’ll go camping Not think I’m weird for watchin NASCAR racing Go out to see movies on the big screen And not belittle me or any of my dreams CHORUS

20 years together and you broke it all apart Our family, home, and jobs, not to mention my poor heart For some pretty little young thing that hasn’t got the brains To see the idiocy of dating thee while you flush your life down the drain Oh nobody gives me credit for the things I didn’t do 1000 times I cried and tried to work it out with you Instead of leaving years ago for the selfish things you do Now you claim that I’m insane and leave for your new boo I didn’t throw you down the stairs Or run you over with my car Didn’t practice kickboxing on ya Or leave a single scar I didn’t kick you in the nuts or slap you in the face And I didn’t buy a flamethrower to go and torch your place Nobody gives me credit for the words I didn’t say Like when I refrained from callin’ names to your face today I didn’t call you Professor Pervert, or even Love Zombie And I didn’t say Holly Homewrecker when we spoke of your new lady I didn’t call the reporters and tell them what you did I didn’t call her parents and say you were dating their little kid I didn’t tell your employer about you dating your student And I didn’t call up Vinnie to get you shoes made of cement I didn’t tell your colleagues, although I hear they learned before I didn’t tell your students that one of their peers was a whore I found out all the neighbors knew when they told me of your deeds I’d kept silent to protect you, I guess it turns out stupidly Oh nobody gives me credit for the things I didn’t do Despite the slights and petty fights that you put me through Though I’ve imagined a lot of revenge, cause Lord knows I’m no saint Nobody gives me credit, for showing such restraint I didn’t let the air out of your tires, or put a dead fish in your air intake Didn’t cross any of your wires, or cut the lines to your brakes Didn’t swap your car accessories with models of male anatomy And I didn’t loosen any fuel lines to make you leak gasoline I didn’t shame your girlfriend when she was in the waiting room I didn’t punch her lights out or send her to her doom Didn’t pull her hair or tell everyone there about the two of you Oh nobody gives me credit for the things I didn’t do I guess today it’s plain to say I don’t wish you much luck And if your engine goes and you need a tow I wouldn’t give a… truck But I s’pose as far as it goes I may someday wish you well Because one day you’ll have to pay when you go straight to hell
