John Prine, Kacey Musgraves - Mental Cruelty lyrics
[John Prine, Kacey Musgraves - Mental Cruelty lyrics]
Mental cruelty, to the judge that day
I sat there in silence so he could be free
And listened to his lying words
Mental cruelty
Your Honor, since our marriage
My life ain't been the same
I'm missin' out on all the fun
And he's the one to blame
There's never any excitement now
The way there used to be
And sharing his way of life and
Doin' his laundry is mental cruelty
Mental cruelty, that's what I heard her say
Mental cruelty, to the judge that day
I sat there in silence so she could be free
And listened to her lying words
Mental cruelty
Divorces have been granted for
Many different things
Even when there's not a reason and
No one can be blamed
With only two little words
She's on her merry way
Yes all a woman has to
Claim is mental cruelty
Mental cruelty, that's what I heard her say
Mental cruelty, to the judge that day
I sat there in silence so she could be free
And listened to her lying words
Mental cruelty
And listened to her lying words
Mental cruelty
