Chance of a Lifetime

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

I got my alibi sewed up nice and 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 and the bed was made

And 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 and he's got a lot of money

We're goin' where it's sunny

And 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' and her cat on my chest

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

Oh, it's gotta be her callin' to apologize

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

Then I, 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

And baby he's a looker too"

She said, "It was the chance of a lifetime

What was I supposed to do?"

Oh, and I got the stereo

And she got the music

Yeah and 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

And 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?
