Six short months we went together, decided it should be forever. Two paychecks were better than one. A diamond ring, it was done. Bought her a house like I said I would in a subdivided neighborhood. The fuse got short and the nights got long. It was over, long gone before I knew I was headed to I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas. I can't believe what the judge had to tell us. I got the jeep and she got the palace. I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas. Things like this are never final. I'm still paying on the vinyl flooring in the laundry room; it's multi-colored, water proof. It's a little bit tough to face my friends, the ones that said that I jumped in the river of love a little too soon. That was August, and this is June and it's a diff'rent tune. I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas. I can't believe what the judge had to tell us. I got the jeep and she got the palace. I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas. I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas. I can't believe what the judge had to tell us. I got the jeep and she got the two bedroom mortgage is due, siding light blue, palace. I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas. I'm goin' through the Bid D and don't mean Dallas.
