  • Without that '57 Cadillac
    And that mini mansion in a cul-de-sac
    That 15-gallon Stetson hat
    That you wear all the time

    And those real expensive rounds of golf
    And this diamond you're still payin' off
    Just know as soon as you get caught
    They'll all be good as mine

    And I called that lawyer up in Dallas
    The one who's livin' in that palace
    So I know he's good at winnin'
    If you think there's somethin' that you're missin'

    And you start steppin' out
    Only one thing can console me
    If you're gonna leave me in San Antone
    Remember the alimony

    If you like livin' at your mama's house
    And drinkin' Milwaukee's best on a hand-me-down couch
    Then you're gonna love how this all works out
    'Cause it all works out for me

    What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine
    So go on, baby, have a real good time
    I'll be countin' the dollars, you'll be rollin' the dimes
    Freedom don't come free

    'Cause I called that lawyer up in Dallas
    The one who's livin' in that palace
    So I know he's good at winnin'
    If you think there's somethin' that you're missin'

    And you start steppin' out
    Only one thing can console me
    If you're gonna leave me in San Antone
    Remember the alimony

    For richer, not for poorer
    Well, consider this your spoiler
    If you think you can't afford her
    Well, you can't afford me too

    So if you start steppin' out
    Only one thing can console me
    If you're gonna leave me in San Antone
    Well, remember the alimony

    You ain't gonna have a row to hoe
    Go on and do your dog and pony show
    If you're gonna be a dumbass
    Honey, I hope you remember the alimony Writer/s: Miranda Lambert, Natalie Hemby, Shane Mcanally
