Avett Brothers, The - Divorce Separation Blues Lyrics






I'm gonna keep on living
Even though I sometimes do
Fantasize about disappearing
Down in the ocean blue
Just to get some peace and quiet
From the warfare inside my heart
Well I've been under ear-splitting fire
Ever since we've been apart
Well I'm gonna wash the dishes
Pay the bills and watch the news
I've got the tough education
No celebration
Divorce separation blues

Yodel eh hee yodelo lodi lay he yodel lay he

Well I'm gonna keep on waking
And rising up before the sun
And lying in the dark wide awake
When everybody else is done
And sleeping in their beds so peaceful
Dreaming with the love they choose
I've got the tough education
No celebration
Divorce separation blues

Yodel eh hee yodelo lodi lay he yodel lay he

And I'll sign on
The line beneath my name
The road is gone
I can't go back the way we came

Well neither one of us
Really wanna hit the town
We try to keep our friends at bay
Try to keep the gossip down
Well some folks just want the dirt
And don't even care if it's true
But then again who cares who's talking
I'm worried for myself and you

And I'll sign on
The line beneath my name
The road is gone
I can't go back the way we came

They say one of every two
Bound to be set aflame
Every level of resentment
Responsibility and blame
Well now I'm bound to break a promise
One I made to God and you

I've got the tough education
No celebration
Divorce separation blues

I've got the tough education
No celebration
Bad communication
Worse interpretation
Love deprivation
Pain allocation
Soul devastation
Cold desolation
Life complication
Resuscitation
Divorce separation blues

Yodel eh hee, olay hee, olay hee, olay hee
Yodel eh hee yodelo lodi lay he yodel lay he

  9. R.... P....

    Damn, this song is my life.

  10. M.... P....

    What is that song that starts with ba dee ba dum that the avett brothers do?

  11. K.... B....

    Sandy Cheeks should sue.

  12. M.... B....

    I'm allergic to the word divorce.😷 Praying in advance. He's going to be stuck with me until Jesus returns.😁😘

  13. M.... B....

    That yodel just killed me! Ha ha! That makes me smile indeed.
    I don't mind if they came this way again for a concert. I'd love to see them again. 🎼

  14. J.... B....

    Odd that they would choose to cover Sandy's "Texas" song from Spongebob...

    J.... B....

    James Butko YESSSSS!!!! I've said this since I first heard it

    J.... B....

    Lol thats awesome

    J.... B....

    Nah dude. Waaaaaaay different

  15. J.... S....

    I saw you guys many years ago when you were starting out at the Albino Skunk festival and I sold your CD's at the artist's tent and you just keep getting better.

  16. E.... B....

    Awesome song!

  17. v.... ....

    So annoyed I only discovered these guys yesterday. Instantly hooked!

    v.... ....

    I hope youve discovered all their older albums in these past 2 years

  18. M.... S....

    GRAN CLASSE MANCA COODER E SIAMO AL COMPLETO!

  19. L.... C....

    Ok but doesn't this sound like I wanna go home from spongebob lol

  20. M.... ....

    I've got those blues too...

  21. C.... ....

    Is this super compressed to the point on clipping in typical & terrible Rubin style? Or is it just my speakers?

    C.... ....

    It's way worse on Magpie

  22. D.... T....

    As well as Jimmie Rogers clearly a reference to Long Gone Lonesome Blues, Hank Williams Sr influence on it too.

  23. j.... w....

    How is this the same avetts that recorded that version of Satan Pulls the Strings? What the hell is going on!!?

    j.... w....

    It makes me depressed just to here that song

    j.... w....

    they've always been a mix of country, folk, blues, with a little rock and roll listen to some of their older songs and some have crazy riffs on an electric guitar.

    j.... w....

    +Cameron Wood Yes, they do; but it worked. The album version of pulls the strings is not that. It's borderline edm folky weirdness. It's studio driven. Hearing that song live was amazing. Hearing a great song bastardized into a sound that takes away from their song writing, talent, and voices is saddening. I want artists to grow and find new sounds, but the tone of that recording is pandering bs. They don't need that over production, they're amazing all by themselves.

    j.... w....

    They make my heart smile.

    j.... w....

    you think they joined the freemasons? OTO? occult? this song threw me off.

    Please Avett brothers, tell me you are not Luciferians!

  24. D.... R....

    +Mariella Gutierrez Brazil uuuuuu

    M.... G....

    What does your age have to do with it?

    M.... G....

    +Jack D It's just that I grew up in an environment when I am judged with liking these types of songs, saying they don't suit my age at all but i know on other places I can meet a lot of ppl on my age who like this.

    M.... G....

    Because you're above your peers intellectually & musically!
