Lyrics
I had a heck of a time gettin' into my house today
I faced difficulties entering my house today.
There was a big ass you-Haul trailer in my way
A large You-Haul trailer blocked my way.
And she was headed for the car so I grabbed my old guitar
Seeing her heading to the car, I grabbed my guitar.
I got one more chance before she drives away
I have one more chance before she leaves.
So Hank don't fail me now, 'cause you've always bailed me out
Requesting Hank to help as he has done in the past.
'Your cheatin' heart' could set that suitcase down
Referencing a classic song ("Your cheatin' heart") to make her reconsider.
Give me one more song to whine that'll make her change her mind
Asking for a song that will evoke emotions and change her mind.
'Cause she's walkin' out, Hank don't fail me now
Expressing urgency as she is leaving.
Yeah, she was throwin' stuff and cussin' like a sailor at me
Describing her angry behavior, throwing things and cursing.
She was waving her arms around like she was fightin' bees
Depicting her agitated gestures, resembling a fight with imaginary bees.
If I could yodel her a lick that just might do the trick
Suggesting that a yodel or a specific musical approach might help.
If I sang, "I saw the light" would she believe?
Contemplating singing "I saw the light" to win her back.
So Hank don't fail me now, 'cause you've always bailed me out
Reiterating the plea for Hank's assistance.
'Your cheatin' heart' could set that suitcase down
Recalling another classic song to influence her decision.
Give me one more song to whine that'll make her change her mind
Requesting a song that will change her mind about leaving.
'Cause she's walkin' out, Hank don't fail me now
Emphasizing the urgency of her departure.
Hank don't fail me now, 'cause you've always bailed me out
Repeating the plea for Hank's support.
'Your cheatin' heart' could set that suitcase down
Invoking the power of another song to halt her departure.
Just give me one more song to whine that'll make her change her mind
Requesting a song that will make her reconsider leaving.
'Cause she's walkin' out, Hank don't fail me now
Stressing the urgency of Hank's intervention.
She's walkin' out
Confirming her departure.
Hank don't fail me now
Reiterating the plea for Hank's assistance as she walks out.
She's walkin' out
Confirming her departure.
Hank don't fail me now
Repeating the plea for Hank's support as she walks out.
