(Aaron Tippin&Terry Brown)
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
