Mississippi Money Pit Lyrics

Well, my ex-wife from Mississippi was quite a trip

Spending all my hard-earned cash on a shopping blitz

Nagging me 'bout this and that, never knew when to quit

But now I'm finally rid of her, I can't believe I made it in one piece

She'd strut around town like she owned the place

With a purse full of money, a smile on her face

No care for the budget, no thought for the rent

Buying fancy dresses and shoes that were spent

She'd say, "Honey, I need this, it's a must-have for sure"

I'd just shake my head, my wallet feeling sore

But now that she's gone, I can't help but laugh

At all the memories of her extravagant and daft

Oh, Mississippi Money Pit, help but laugh

At all the memories of her extravagant and daft

Oh, Mississippi Money Pit, you drained me dry

With your shopping sprees and endless supply

But now that you're gone, I'm feeling so light

Finally rid of you, life feels just right

I remember the time you bought that big TV

Claiming we needed it for a movie spree

But you'd fall asleep before the show even started

Leaving me alone, feeling broken-hearted

You'd come home with bags full of things we don't need

Another kitchen gadget, a plant or a bead

But now that you're out of my life for good

I'm feeling so free, like I knew I should

But now that she's gone, I can't help but laugh

But now that she's gone, I can't help but laugh

At all the memories of her extravagant and daft

Oh, Mississippi Money Pit, help but laugh

At all the memories of her extravagant and daft

Oh, Mississippi Money Pit, you drained me dry

With your shopping sprees and endless supply

But now that you're gone, I'm feeling so light

Finally rid of you, life feels just right

So here's to the memories, the laughs and the pain

Of living with someone who loved to complain

But now I can smile and move on with my life

No more spending my days in endless strife

But now that she's gone, I can't help but laugh

At all the memories of her extravagant and daft

Oh, Mississippi Money Pit, you drained me dry

With your shopping sprees and endless supply

But now that you're gone, I'm feeling so light

Finally rid of you, life feels just right

So here's to the memories, the laughs and the pain

Of living with someone who loved to complain
