Ain`t That A Hell Of A Note

(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
