Miranda Lambert‘s always had a flair for revenge songs. She made her name with scorchers like “Kerosene” and “Gunpowder and Lead,” and as she’s aged, that vengeful streak never went away — it just got a little more subtle.

In her new single “Dammit Randy,” for example, Lambert takes the high road instead of going scorched earth: She understands she’s outgrown a lover, and simply moves on instead of showing her anger with flames or firearms.

It looks like the breakup songs won’t be slowing down as she heads towards her next album cycle: The singer has been teasing an unreleased new track called “Alimony,” in which she threatens a spouse — not with violence, but with the law.

Earlier this week, Lambert started generating buzz about her new song, posting a social media of herself and several members of her crew dancing along to the traditional-leaning country track. She also debuted it live during a show in California, giving fans a more complete peek into the song’s thorny breakup lyrics.

“Alimony” is a divorce song, plain and simple, and Lambert knows a thing or two about divorce. In 2015, she had one of country music’s most high-profile divorces in recent memory, when she parted ways with fellow country superstar Blake Shelton after four years of marriage.

Both stars have moved on with other spouses: Shelton married Gwen Stefani in 2021, while Lambert married Brendan McLoughlin, a former NYPD officer, in 2019 but kept their marriage — and their relationship — a secret for several weeks after the fact.

“Alimony” isn’t Lambert’s first divorce song. In 2018, her trio Pistol Annies put out a song called “Got My Name Changed Back,” which many speculated was inspired by her divorce from Shelton.

Lambert’s next album cycle will be her first since she departed her longtime label home, Sony, in the spring of 2023. In April, over a year later, she inked a new deal with Republic Records in partnership with Big Loud.

Here Are the Lyrics to Miranda Lambert’s Unreleased Song, “Alimony”:

That ’67 Cadillac / That mini-mansion in a cul-de-sac / That 15-gallon Stetson hat / That you wear all the time / Those real expensive rounds of golf / This diamond you’re still payin’ off / Just know, as soon as you get caught / They’ll all be good as mine

Chorus:

‘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 something that you’re missing / If you start steppin’ out / Only one thing can console me / If you’re gonna leave me in San Antone / Well, remember the alimony

If you like livin’ at your mama’s house / and drinkin’ Milwaukee’s Best on a hand-me-down couch / You’re gonna love how it 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 / You’ll be countin’ the dollars / You’ll be rollin’ the dimes /’Cause freedom don’t come free

Repeat Chorus

For richer or for poorer / Well, consider this your spoiler / If you think you can 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

When you went gone I had a row to how / Go on and do your dog and pony show / If you’re gonna be a dumbass, honey I hope / You remember the alimony
