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
