This is the most underrated song out there. I've yet to find a song that's better lyrically than this one. It's been my favorite for over 30 years.

Dairy Queen
The opening line to Amy Ray's song is, "I heard that you were drunk and mean down at the Dairy Queen." Rarely has there been a better opening line.
