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
