Chance Of A Lifetime Lyrics


Brooks & Dunn Chance Of A Lifetime


Song: 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 Â... " 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 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

(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
and baby he's a looker too
She said it was a chance of a lifetime
What was I supposed to do
instrumental SOLO
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
(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
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
