Lyric Ain t That A Hell Of A Note

I hollered ""hey honey, I m home"" like I do every day at four
But the TV ain t on and the car is gone, she must be at the store
Then I spied this piece of paper it looked like a list of things to do
But when I got down to number six I realized we were through
The plumber couldn make it today, I ve decided that I m going away
The dog s at the vet the hearing is set
Do you see what I m trying to say
Don t forget to take out the trash, I m sorry but I m not coming back
Now you can t sugar coat what she really wrote
Ain t that a hell of a note

I just stood there and scratched my head, my chin dropped to the floor
Not even a tear after all these years, I expected a little bit more
I was countin on grabbin a good, cold beer
Stretchin out on the couch
But she went by the numbers and I got counted out

The plumber couldn make it today, I ve decided that I m going away
The dog s at the vet the hearing is set
Do you see what I m trying to say
Don t forget to take out the trash, I m sorry but I m not coming back
Now you can t sugar coat what she really wrote
Ain t that a hell of a note

Lordy, ain t that a hell of a note
