A life-long renegade, singer/songwriter David Allan Coe was one of the most colorful and unpredictable characters in country music history. One of the pioneering artists of the outlaw country movement of the '70s, he didn't have many big hits — only three of his singles hit the Top Ten — but he was among the biggest cult figures in country music throughout his career. Born in Akron, OH, Coe first got into trouble with the law at age nine. As a result, he was sent to reform school. For the next 20 years, he never spent more than a handful of months outside of a correctional facility — he spent much of his twenties in the Ohio State Penitentiary.

Just Divorced Lyrics

David Allan Coe

Just divorced was written on the window of the car
It looked like a tombstone parked beside the local bar
Once he'd drove it crazy now he's driven it too far
Just divorced was written on the window of the car

Someone wrote in soap it's over right across the hood
On the door it said good riddance boy I feel good
On the fender were the words I won't be home tonight
And the jukebox in the bar played if you're gonna do me wrong do it right
Laughed so hard I thought now there's a guy who's got some spunk
What a sense of humor it said goodbye on the trunk
Tin cans tied with paper streamers pointing to the bar
Just divorced was written on the window of the car
Just divorced was written...
