Intentional Heartache

She drove South I-95 straight through Carolina
She didn’t use no damn map to find her way
She pulled off on the state route just north of Charlotte
And took mostly country roads the rest of the day
She said I’ll give him an intentional heartache
That’ll hurt a lot worse than the one he left in me
Would you all step back so a girl might to get started
And he won’t have to look twice to see
She drove up across the yard and though his mama’s garden
Didn’t touch the brakes, she slammed right into his Chevrolet
Tossed out his clothes, boots, bud cap, and signed Dale Jr. poster
Then shot the whole mess neon green, a can of DuPont spray
She said I’ll give him an intentional heartache
That’ll hurt a lot worse than the one he left in me
Would you all step back so a girl might to get started
And he won’t have to look twice to see
She said I’ll give you an intentional heartache
That’ll hurt a lot worse than the one that you left in me
And tell your little tramp to step back so your ex-wife can get started
And you won’t have to look twice to see
Just watch this
Then she sprayed that Bud cap bright green
Said honey put that can of spray paint down
Just watch this
Then she pulled them Nakona boots out, sprayed them neon too
Put the can down honey
She give it hell with that can of spray paint
He kept yelling at her
Put the can down
And she sprayed to him
Then she did a little dance on top of that Dale Jr. poster
Just kind of a hoochie coochie
Alright honey
He said I saw you comin', now put it down
Just watch this, she run over to the passenger side of that Monte Carlo
And she sprayed tramp
On the hood on the back of the house
She tried to call her sister
What was that girl's name
Said you gotta come get this girl
Nancy, I think
Said Look at here
Look at here
She run that girl back up on the porch
