About Time Songtext
von Mack Geiger

Well I prayed she′d be the one for me, I guess I was wrong
I booked a table for two, black suit, at a flash restaurant
One-year anniversary, she had all guns drawn
Over a table of food, we blued, and next thing, she was gone

It's ′bout time I sang a heartbreak song
I've felt too damn good for too damn long
It's ′bout time I finally sang the blues
I′ll trade this table for two for Jones and an old bar stool


Well, my buddy always told me I was punchin'
But I didn′t want to believe it
He said, "You caught a lucky break, she's out your league
Leave you aching when she′s leaving"
Hell, I guess I should be grateful that I was anticipating goodbye
And that my solaces are waiting
Drinking two-for-ones at Heartbreak Paradise

Well it's ′bout time I sang a heartbreak song
I've felt too damn good for too damn long
It's ′bout time I finally sang the blues
I′ll trade this table for two for Jones and an old bar stool

It's been a long time coming, Lord we know that it′s true
But there ain't nothing that The Possum and my rowdy friends
Can′t help me through

It's ′bout time I sang a heartbreak song
I've felt too damn good for too damn long
It's ′bout time I finally sang the blues
I′ll trade this table for two for Jones and an old bar stool
I'll trade this table for two for Jones
And an old bar stool
