Lyrics:

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
