Story Behind The Song

I met a man who went through a bitter divorce and gave up on finishing his fixer-up-er.He didn't ever think that being kicked out of the house would be a home improvement.

Song Description

Man works on his dream home only to find out his wife is leaving him.

Lyrics

WELL MY WIFE SAID VINYL SIDING WOULD ENHANCE OUR COUNTRY HOME.
AFTER I PAVED THE DRIVEWAY AND JUST BEFORE I PUT THE NEW ROOF ON.
BUT THEN ONE MORNIN' WITHOUT WARNIN' SHE TOLD ME HER LOVE WAS GONE.
WITH ONE LAST WISH ON HER HONEY DO LIST I FOUND MYSELF ON MY OWN.

WELL I NEVER THOUGHT HOME IMPROVEMENT MEANT GETTIN' RID OF ME.
WHILE I WORKED ON OUR CASTLE SHE WORKED ON BEING FREE.
I GAVE THAT FIX-ER-UP A BRAND NEW LOOK,
SO LORD HOW COULD THIS BE.
NO I NEVER THOUGHT HOME IMPROVEMENT MEANT GETTIN' RID OF ME.

SHE PROBLY STANDIN' THERE BY THE FRONT STAIRS ADMIRIN' HER NEW GARAGE,
WITH HER NEW MAN WHO WAS MY BEST FRIEND BACK AT THE O' MOOSE LODGE,
WELL IF HE LOOKIN THROUGH THE NEW WINDOWS HE'D SEE THE BAR I MADE.
WHERE I'D BE HAVIN' ME A COOL ONE IF ONLY I COULD HAVE STAYED.

REPEAT CHORUS:

WELL I WAS WATCHIN' PLAYS FROM THE COWBOY'S GAME WHEN THE CALL CAME THROUGH THE PHONE.
IT WAS HER MAJESTY YELLIN' FRANTICALLY FOR HELP WITH HER FLOODED THRONE.
THE LITTLE WATER LEAK BENEATH THAT WORN OUT SEAT WAS THE LAST OF MY HONEY DOS.
I HOPE THE MAN OF HER DREAMS WHO CAN'T FIX A THING WASN'T TOO BUSY TO.
