The song basically sums up everything from the day Marvin and Anna met until some time after the two got a divorce. A few notes on the lyrics:
‘I met a little girl, sure was fine
Pretty little thing just about blew my mind
She took me home, and made love to me
I knew right then and there this is where I wanted to be’
Note that there are at least a few years between the day they met and when they first had sex. The two started dating 3 years after they met.
The year 1964 is the year Marvin and Anna got married, which explains the vowels that are exchanged just before the year is mentioned. With 1976 being the year this song was recorded in and the year the two were declared divorced by the state.
The last four lines would mean that Marvin is happy about the break-up when singled out and read. But this is not true as is noticeable by reading the rest of the lyrics and listening to the song (He sings that part quite soft, less confident, and somber).
