Freddy Tönnesen - 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, 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
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
