She told me it was over
With a suitcase in her hand
When she said she'd met a cowboy
I was picturin' the Marlboro man
Well it wasn't her leavin'
Hell, it wasn't even
The fact that she was runnin' around
What hurts me the most
Is she left me for a rodeo clown
He coulda been a doctor
A lawyer, maybe, I'd understand
Or a bull-ridin' belt-buckle
Snuff-dippin' macho man
But a guy named Darryl
Hidin' in a barrel
Red nose and a painted-on frown
Yeah, she didn't just leave me
She left me for a rodeo clown
Your friends are gonna ask me
But I'm just gonna tell 'em a lie
I'll say she was gettin' too clingy
And you just had to say goodbye
'Cause you'd get throttled
If they knew that Ronald McDonald
Was doin' her now
"No, she didn't just leave ya
She left you for a rodeo clown"
He coulda been a doctor
A lawyer, maybe, I'd understand
Or a bull-ridin' belt-buckle
Snuff-dippin' macho man
But a guy named Darryl
Hidin' in a barrel
Red nose and a painted-on frown
Nah, she didn't just leave ya
She left you for a rodeo clown
If I'd known she was into
Suspenders and big shoes
Mighta coulda worked something out
But she went to Vegas
And left me for a rodeo clown
Yeah, it hurts just to say it
She left you for a rodeo clown
