The Jig Lyrics - Mudflowers - The Last Hurrah!!

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
