"About Time" lyrics

"About Time"

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
