I Gmet her in a Dollar Store in sCouthern Illinois
She mDoved into my trailer with her little girl and Gboy
We Gwatched the Jerry Springer show and Csmoked some cigarettes
Then she Dhurt me like I never will forgGet
DShe’s gone to GEffingham and she Ctook the f’ing kids
And Dhit the f’ing road in her D7f’ing Mini-GVan
GNow I’m sitting here alone, and I don’t Gf’ing understand
Why my Dbaby’s f’ing gone to EffingGham
DNow I Glong to see those cut off jeans and Cpigtails in her hair
And Dbreathe her sweet perfume, it hung like ether in the Gair
If sGhe’d just give me one more chance   I’d Cdo my very best
But a Dman can’t be a man on house Garrest
D7She’s gone to GEffingham, yes she Cpacked her f’ing clothes
And Dtook her DVD’s and her f’ing videGos
Now Gshe’s called the f’in law, and I don’t Cf’in give a damn
‘Cause my Dbaby’s f’in gone to GEffingham
Interlude
NGow if I could only see her and expClain the way I feel
I’d Dtell her that I’m sorry, and I swear this time for Greal,
A restrGaining order shouldn’t have to Cbreak my heart in two
She Dneeds me she just hasn’t got a Gclue
She’s gone to GEffingham, yes she Ctook the f’in kids
And Dhit the f’in road in that f’in miniGvan
NGow I’m sitting here alone, doin’ the Cbest I f’in can
Since my Dbaby’s f’in gone to EffingGham
Since my Dbaby’s f’in gone to EffingGham
