You’re An Asshole, I Can’t Stand You (And I Want A Divorce) Lyrics by Orville Peck
I woke up this morning
In our king-size bed
Every day you get further away
The silence is louder
Than what you ain’t said
But I hear the words you can’t say
You’re going down on love
And everybody knows
Ride the high-country wherever you go
If you want a fire, grab hold of the reigns
Get back in the saddle
Ride away on your horse
You’re an asshole, I can’t stand you
And I want a divorce
The light is fading
And the day is gone
Nothing much left in this one-light town
You borrow you freedom
On the back of the dawn
You’re making me look like a rodeo clown
You’re going out on me
And everybody knows
You come out smelling like a rose
Tell me goodbye
Grab hold of the reigns
Look, I don’t care it was forty years ago when you won the high-school spelling bee
What are you even talking about?
Not everybody can spell “hippopotamus”, and that’s at least something you can hang on to
I can’t even understand you with that thing on your face!
Margo, you sure do take the “O” out of “country”
And you put the “L” in stupid
Get back in the saddle
Ride away on your horse
You’re an asshole, I can’t stand you
And I want a divorce
Get back in the saddle
Ride away on your horse
You’re an asshole, I can’t stand you
And I want a divorce
