Might aDs well have doused my in diesel, struck a Gmatch and just lit me
DI'm takin' me a heartbreakG  
Takin' Dme a heartbreakG

Tough as nGails, it's used to being Dhammered onG  
But this Dtime it's split in half

DI might go back home to Mama
I might dGrive across the country in my Dold truck
Just takiGn' me a heartbreakD
