What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I heard her footsteps down the hallway
2
I heard the door slam at the crack of dawn
3
She laid tracks in my purple Cadillac
4
She was gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
5
She left a note on the kitchen table
6
Explaining her point of view
7
I put on a strong pot of coffee
8
Then I sat down on the porch to read her note
9
Dear Carl
10
I am leaving you today
11
I am never coming back this way
12
You can have the house
13
And everything in it
14
I'm finally fed up boy I'm finished
15
I'm sick of feedin' the chickens
16
Cookin' your dinner
17
Washin' the dishes
18
Sewin' your britches
19
Pickin' up your underwear
20
Doin' your laundry
21
I'm tired of waitin' up nights
22
Cryin' my eyes out
23
Looking for your headlights
24
Wonderin' if you're alright
25
And now, this mornin', I found a grey hair
26
So I'm packin' my bags
27
I'm leavin' the laundry
28
You can have your ring back
29
It's somewhere out in the yard
30
You say you love me
31
You never stay home
32
We don't go dancin' anymore
33
I'm young and I'm pretty
34
I'm movin' to the city
35
Goin' to find a good man who'll treat me right
36
Honey, I'm layin' tracks!
37
Signed...your soon to be ex-wife,
38
Donna Jean
39
Oh God in heaven
40
What shall I do
41
I see now I've been such a fool
42
My Donna Jean, she's gone and left me
43
I've been wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
44
Then the sky turned black
45
The thunder cracked
46
The clouds split open
47
I saw a blinding light
48
There he was, white as a ghost
49
In a regular human voice god spoke
50
Dear Carl
51
She is leaving you today
52
She may never come back this way
53
You've got some problems
54
But I'll tell ya how to solve 'em
55
Listen carefully son
56
Here is what you'll do
57
Get rid of them chickens
58
Buy yourself a cookbook
59
Help with the dishes
60
Learn how to sew
61
Pick-up your own dirty drawers
62
And get yourself a Maytag
63
Stop actin' like a jerk
64
Come home after work
65
Tell her that she's pretty
66
Take her dancin' in the city
67
Soon as you can, get her to a beauty salon
68
Now, get off your butt
69
Get in that truck
70
Go after that woman
71
And with any luck
72
You'll find the purple Cadillac
73
Stranded by the side of the road
74
If you find Donna Jean
75
Get down on your knees
76
Mention my name
77
Beg her please, please
78
Promise, promise, promise to change your ways
79
Then take her gently by the hand
80
Let her know you understand
81
If she has to go, there's the open road
82
But you'll always, always, always be her man
83
You will always, always, always, always, always.
84
Always, always try to understand
85
You will always, always, always, always,
86
Always always, always, always, always..
87
Be a man
