Four Years of Chances

Well, I waited four long winters

Yes, I waited in the sun

I was crying all alone

While you were out having fun

I gave you four years of chances

But you threw 'em all away

I gave you one thousand four hundred sixty-one days

I gave you four years of chances

To try to be your wife

I cleaned your shirts

And cooked up your supper

But you stayed out late at night

I gave you four years of chances

To try to build a happy home

But now one more may as well be

A million and one

Now you know you lost me, darling

And you can't get me back

Ain't that just like a man

To change so fast

Because you want what you can't have

So now I'm going to say it slowly

Before I go away

You had me one thousand four hundred sixty-one days

I gave you four years of chances

To try to be your wife

I cleaned your shirts

And cooked up your supper

But you stayed out late at night

I gave you four years of chances

To try to build a home

But now one more may as well be

A million and one

Well I found myself a good man now

You know he treats me like he should

And we live in a shack by a railroad track

And he's out back chopping wood

And no, oh, we don't have have too much money

But I'll tell you why that's okay

He loves me every moment

Of them three hundred sixty-five days

I gave you four years of chances

To try to be your wife

I cleaned your shirts

And washed up the dishes

But you never did treat me right

I gave you four years of chances

To try to build a happy home

But now one more may as well be

A million and one

But now one more may as well be a million and one
