Mark Chesnutt

Goin Thru The Big D

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 sub-divided neighborhood.
Her fuse got short, and the nights got long,
it was over, long gone, before I knew,
Where I was headed to.

Chorus
I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas,
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us.
I got the jeep, she got the palace...
I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas.
(Guitar riff)

Things like this are never final,
I'm still payin' on the vinyl,
Throw in the "laundry room",
It's multi-colored, and water-proof.
It's a little bit tough to face my friends,
The ones that said that I'd just ended,
The river of love, a little too soon,
That was August,... this is June...
And it's a different tune

Chorus
Solo | Bb | Bb | F Bb | Bb Eb | C | F | Bb |
Last Chorus
I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas,
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us.
I got the jeep, she got the TWO BEDROOM,
MORTGAGE IS DUE SIDING LIKE NEW...PALACE...
I'm goin thru the big D and don't mean Dallas.
(Stop) Tacet
I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas
(End song with guitar riff)
