Content
The song's main protagonist is going through a divorce and says that he is "goin' through the big D and don't mean Dallas". Early on, the young man muses about his wife getting almost everything in the divorce settlement, including the house, while he only gets their Jeep. The house serves as the focal point for the man's misery, until in the end he realizes that the house's mortgage is due and it has just two bedrooms in essence, meaning he is relieved to have the marriage ended.
Chart performance
"Goin' Through the Big D" debuted at number 58 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the chart week of October 29, 1994.
