 Came home loaded again,

 Watched the sun come with all my good timin' friends

 We all know how the story ends

 DI-V-O-R--

 Pulled my truck right up in the yard

 Said some things about her momma and she took it kinda hard

 And my get outta jail free card

Got used up way back in '03

Pre-chorus

 She don't think that it's cute anymore

 To see me begging on my knees outside her front door

 I could try to win her back but what for

 She's heard all my excuses before

Chorus 1

 This ain't the first time she's thrown me out

Sent me packin' to sleep on the couch

 I know too well what that's all about

 This ain't the first time

 This ain't the first time she's said we're through

 But I'm startin' to believe it might be true

 And I don't think that I'm sorry is a-gonna do

 This ain't the first time but it's the worst time

 If she's right, Lord knows I'm wrong

 Keeping her up each night singin' the same ole song

 Don't know why she's let me live this long

There must of been some love there but I think that it's gone

 You could say I took it too far

 And when it comes to screwin up well I get the gold star

 Cause this time when I got home from the bar

I find all of my clothes thrown all over the lawn

Pre-chorus

 She's changed the locks and unplugged the phone

 She's had it up to here and she's making it known

 She's thrown out everything that I own

 I best be gettin used to bein alone

Chorus 2

 This ain't the first time that it's come down

Smack dab on top of this stupid clown

 Sendin shock waves all over town

 This ain't the first time

 This ain't the first time she's walked away

 Leavin me on my knees without a word to say

 But if I opened my mouth it would get worse anyway

 This ain't the first time but it's the worst time

 No, This ain't the first time but it's just the worst time
