Lyrics of 'The Ballad Of Donnie Gene' by The Arcadian Wild

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 she'll raise ‘em real good, too
Donnie, don't give up on her, she won't give up on you

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 she'll raise ‘em real good, too
Donnie, don't give up on her, she won't give up on you

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 she'll 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
