From the recording Wood&Wires
This one time I got divorced. I wrote several songs about that. This is one of them.
Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Lyrics
THE HELL OUT OF DODGE (Skibbe)
© 2007 Coyote Tongue Music (ASCAP)
When I unlocked the door, I knew that something had changed
Sweet, sweet silence answered your name
No cloak and no pitchfork in the closet in the hall
My soul felt free, I heard paradise call
What took you so long
To get the hell out of Dodge
And all your infernal crap
Outta my garage
Adios, auf wiedersehen and bon voyage
What took you so long, so long, so long
To get the hell out of Dodge
Every damned night and every damned day
Devil woman you kept on making me pay
Your evil eye and your acid tongue
Were sulphur and fire, they scalded and stung
What took you so long
To get the hell out of Dodge
And all your infernal crap
Outta my garage
Adios, auf wiedersehen and bon voyage
What took you so long, so long, so long
To get the hell out of Dodge
Tonight I’ll find another
I will welcome the change
Nothing says “over”
Like a taste of some strange
What took you so long
To get the hell out of Dodge
And all your infernal crap
Outta my garage
Adios, auf wiedersehen and bon voyage
What took you so long, so long, so long
To get the hell out of Dodge
What took you so long, so long, so long
To get the hell out of Dodge
