Oh, look! My ex is taking me to the cleaners.

Story behind the song
My second wife and I, driving through Indiana, see smashed animals on the pavement that remind us of the way I feel about the ex. Nothing complicated here.
Lyrics
Roadkill
(Martin Buchanan/Laura Black)
Im layin here broken on the shoulder of the road
Feels like gravel stickin out of my nose
My limbs are slack I’m stuck on my back
What used to be blue is turning black
My good eyeball is staring at a cloud
And I’m layin here wondering how I got to be...
Chorus
Roadkill
I never saw it coming
Never saw her big ole wheels
Roadkill
I’m plastered to the asphalt
Don’t you know how bad it feels
Cos she’s the buzzard that’s stripping me bare
She’s picking me clean right down to my hair
Stay in the car Don’t look Don’t stare at this
Roadkill
That thump thump you hear is
The tires on her Chevy
Leavin tracks on my heart Ooh, they’re heavy
She’s revving up her motor
She keeps running me over
I don’t see how I can get any lower
Won’t somebody come by with a shovel
Throw me in the dirt and cover me over I’m...
Chorus
bridge
She’s taken all my money
I used to call her honey
She got the last laugh but
This ain’t funny I’m...
