Favorite Ex Wife

Favorite Ex-Wife
© Mark Adam Miller

The first time around swept my feet off the ground
But I ran her off in 21 days
The second time through with wife Number Two
Had me drinking everything in every way

The more times I go, I got nothing to show
More work and a lot less fun
I keep kicking myself to put my pride on the shelf
‘Cause there ain’t nothing like Number One

She’s a steam train, the fast lane,
Crank my Willie Nelson song
She’s got a perfect spot
For kickin’ it up all night long

She’s my Way, my Witness, my Cup of Forgiveness
My promise of a next life
She’s my “Best-thing-that-happened-to-me
Can’t-believe-I-made-her-leave-me
Best-three-weeks-of-my-life”
She’s my favorite ex-wife

Third time’s a charm, Number Three and a farm
Spreadin’ love and a barrel of hay
But just like number two, when I had nothing to do
I realized I had nothing to say

So I’m foot-to-the-floor with lucky Number Four
Chasin that better half dream
In a ’57 Chevy with a girl named Betty
But I’m haunted by my Number One scene

CHORUS

You never know what you got ‘till it’s gone I’ve been told
And I’m provin it every single day
All I want is a chance to get back to the dance
All I want is my Witness and my Way

CHORUS
