Chance of a Lifetime

I came staggerin' in, in the middle of the night

I got my alibi sewed up nice & tight

Cracked the bedroom door, I tried to keep it from squeakin'

'Cause I know there's a wildcat in there sleepin'

But the, the light was on & the bed was made

& there's a dear john written on the pillow case

She said I've gone to the Bahamas

I've had it with the drama

Time to get out of town, I'm just a slowin' you down

She said I found somebody that likes the things that you used to

Yeah & he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny

& baby he's a looker too

She said it was a chance of a lifetime

What was I supposed to do

Oh yeah, I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mess

I had the telephone ringin' & her cat on my chest

I'm wipin' the sleep out of my bloodshot eyes

It's gotta be her callin' to apologize

She must be feelin' bad 'cause she done me wrong

Then I pushed the button on the code-a-phone

She said I've gone to the Bahamas

I've had it with the drama

Time to get out of town, I'm just a slowin' you down

She said I found somebody that likes the things that you used to

Yeah she said he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny

& baby he's a looker too

She said it was a chance of a lifetime

What was I supposed to do

Oh & I got the stereo & she got the music

Yeah & I got this washer but I don't know how to use it

She's gone to the Bahamas

Had it with the drama

Time to get out of town, I'm just a slowin you down

She said I found somebody that likes the things that you used to

Yeah she said, he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny

& baby he's a looker too

She said it was a chance of a lifetime

What was I supposed to do

Oh yeah, it was a chance of a lifetime

What was I supposed to do

Maybe you can come get this cat
