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 a 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 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 a 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 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, 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 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
