Story behind the song
She even got the strings off my old guitar.
Lyrics
intro
Verse 1
well i still can't believe what the judge had to say,
when he set down what I'd have to pay
she's got my money to burn
It's half of what i've earned
Well she hired the best I'm tellin you now,
Her lawyer represents Dewey Squeezem and Howe
verse 2
now she's eatin' steak, and I'm eatin' stew.
Lord She's drinkin' champagne and me mountain dew.
she'll be livin in up at some port of call
and I'll be workin' a second job down at the mall
just tryin' to keep up and get by somehow..
thanks to the firm Dewey Squeezem and Howe
Chorus
Lord they gave her the boat, and she got the car
she even got the strings off my old guitar
while shes takin a cruise ive got the blues
she got everything that the law would allow
thanks to the firm, dewey squeezem and howe
Verse 3
Her brand new teeth give her a million dollar smile
two hundred dollar sandles help her walk in style
her new double d's sit up tall and proud
her brand new jag with the music up loud
she tells everybody she meets about how
she highly recommends dewey squeezem and howe
Verse 4
She took the blue ray player and all of the goods
and our 3 bedroom rancher sittin back in the woods
anything else her little heart desires
or a little bit more if the price requires
a hot tub foot rub monogrammed towels
ya gotta hand to the folks at
Dewey Squeezem and Howe
Chorus
Verse 5
Thousand dollar drapes make the the front room glow
off that 50 inch plasma that has her favorite show
Im stayin in a camper on my 4 wheel drive
Workin long hours just tryin to survive
I'll never forget it no way no how
I got taken to the cleaners by Dewey Squeezem and Howe
Chorus
