Lyrics
Took a trip on a runaway train
Left my windows open in the rain
Did somethin' crazy and had to explain
Meet someone special didn't get her number or name
Time has a habit of slippin' away
Oops! there goes another day
There's only so much that fate will allow
I missed my chance somehow
There aint nothin' I can do about that now
There aint nothin' I can do about that now
I slept 'til two o'clock in the afternoon
Missed my ship which came in to soon
Booky's tip came in sixty to one
My gamblin' days are done
opportunities show up now and then
Fortune favors the bold to win
There's a silver lining to every dark cloud
I missed my chance somehow
There aint nothin' I can do about that now
There aint nothin' I can do about that now
Some things are better left unsaid
Not the gift of the gab but a big mouth instead
The judge at your arraignment wouldn't cut you a deal
Your defense was no more than a cornered rat's squeal
There aint nothin' I can do
There aint nothin' I can do about that now
