Johnny Mosby - Walkin' Papers Lyrics

I just got my walkin' papers nothin' I can do
Cept hide my hurt down deep inside and face the fact we're through
I gave you the best years of my life baby and my reward from you
Is a broken heart a mixed-up mind and walkin' papers too

You're takin' everything that you want from me but the shirt on my back
Course you're leavin' me with alimony and a few small things like that
It's a mighty high cause for a man to take when he's been honest to
A hard workin' fella don't stand the chance when he's got a woman like you

I just got my walkin' papers nothin' I can do...

[ guitar ]
A big wind blew the day we met but your promises never came true
Ten long years of too little money is enough with a guy like you
Your ideas of the way of life don't compare with mine
So this old gal's gonna do some livin' while she's still got a little time

Oh I just got my walkin' papers nothin' I can do...
