The Last Hurrah!! - The Jig lyrics

There was a time when I was carefree Lazin' with you down in New Orleans We lived life casually Me for you and you for me There was time when we made a lot of sense Talking 'bout kids and a picket fence But that was back in the day Let the picture fade away Cuz the jig is up, beyond a doubt Bye bye baby I'm getting out You won't see me hangin' round On the shady side of town Somehow I started to hesitate It was all good till you set a date I told you I was afraid But you swore I'd be ok I've never been quite the marrying kind Wheels won't turn on a sheet of ice And that's why I gotta go Hate to say I told you so But the jig is up, beyond a doubt Bye bye baby I'm getting out You won't see me hangin' round On the shady side of town Maybe sometime in a couple of years We can sit down with a keg of beer And look back over the days And the total mess we made I've never been quite the settlin' kind Can't find peace but I'm gonna try So babe I'm hittin' the road It's the only way I know Cuz the jig is up, beyond a doubt Bye bye baby I'm getting out You won't see me hangin' round On the shady side of town Cuz I've had a while to contemplate listen to me lover, it's getting late and we already know it was over long ago
