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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
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
|
|
[2nd Chorus]
|
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
