Song Description

For some folks, a breakup turns out to be a happy ending.

Lyrics

Can't Thank You Enough

Verses

I s'pose I owe you
But maybe not the way you might be thinkin'
Not for the vinyl albums I'll be keepin'
After you up and walked right out on me.

Happy to tell ya
I'm finally gettin' out with my ol' friends again
Hadn't seen 'em since I can't remember when.
I'd pretty near forgot how much I like 'em.

Chorus

I can't thank you enough for breakin' up with me (that's right, darlin')
Can't get over thinkin' after all these years I've finally broken free
Of clockin' in like it's a job
Listenin' while you jack yer jaw
'bout every damned complaint - ok, I ain't no saint!
Yeah, I can't thank you enough for breakin' up with me.

Verses

I figure I was good to you
Took you to fancy restaurants and out to dance
Put up with your mother and your crazy aunts
'n complimented all your lousy cookin'.

None of it was good enough
I never really found what made you happy
The tryin' pretty nearly drove me batty
And walkin' 'round on egg shells was exhausting.

Chorus

I can't thank you enough for breakin' up with me (just can't do it)
Can't get over thinkin' after all these years I've finally broken free
Of clockin' in like it's a job
Listenin' while you jack yer jaw
'bout every damned complaint - ok, I ain't no saint!
Yeah, I can't thank you enough for breakin' up with me.

Bridge

I don't think I ever would've left you
Though I spent every wakin' minute wantin' to
Now I sit here smilin', tellin' everyone I know that . . .

Chorus

I can't thank you enough for breakin' up with me (yeah, hallelujah)
Can't get over thinkin' after all these years I've finally broken free
Of clockin' in like it's a job
Listenin' while you jack yer jaw
'bout every damned complaint - ok, I ain't no saint!
Yeah, I can't thank you enough for breakin' up with me.

Closing

Who knew I'd get this lucky?
I 'ppreciate you breakin' up with me.
