The Ballad Of Donnie Gene

Intro: Verse: 1 Donnie, you’re a fine young man You’re hoping to take the hand Of some sweet thing who understands what this world’s about She’s careful, with a clever mind, impervious to pick up lines Just slow down and give her time; I bet she’ll come around Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you She’s the kind of woman that only speaks the truth She’ll give you blue eyed babies, and raise ‘em real good, too Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you Verse: 2 Don, you’ve got yourself a wife You only had to ask her twice But rest assured, she’s on your side until you breathe your last Together you will build a home, a legacy stronger than stone You’ll work them fingers to the bone, but she will hold you fast Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you She’s the kind of woman that only speaks the truth She’ll give you blue eyed babies, and raise ‘em real good, too Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you Verse: 3 Donnie, you’re a grey, old man, But that sweet thing still holds your hand She’s there to help you take a stand, now that standing’s hard The girl stuck with you through it all, faithful in the rise and fall Soon you’ll hear the master call, and away you will depart You’ll leave her with a full and heavy heart Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you She’s the kind of woman that only speaks the truth She’ll give you blue eyed babies, and raise ‘em real good, too Donnie, don’t give up on her; she won’t give up on you She won't give up on you Outro:
