lyrics

I think I'll celebrate by going away
Twenty years together
And there's nothing left to say

You don't want me near you
The kids all act the same
I'm sick and tired of Hurting
I've failed and I leave in shame

So, I think I'll celebrate by going away
I’ll no longer be bother
And you won’t have me to blame

The bills I'll keep on paying
The lights will still come on
I won't be there to wake you
Or do the goddamned chores

I think I'll celebrate by going away
It's best that I just leave
There's nothing left to save

You've always got a headache
The kids don’t do a thing
The cars they drive the food they eat
The cash for their new kicks

That’s why I’ll celebrate by going away
There’s nothing here to hold me
I ain’t nothing but a piggy bank

The only words I hear are rude
I get no damned respect
My needs all go unanswered
I'm just fodder for the ticks.

That’s why I'll celebrate by going away
Y'all probably won't even notice
That I've left without a trace.
There's nothing here to celebrate
So, I'm finally going away

In fact, y'all might just celebrate
The day I went away.
