Lyrics
Check Out Time
© 2007 G. D. Martin
Verse I:
Life ain’t easy with you Darlin’,
And most nights last too long.
I just wonder where you’re steppin’ out,
When the night is half past gone.
I wish it wasn’t true,
The things I’ve heard about you, Girl.
I don’t know how it got this way,
But I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do.
Chorus:
It’s check out time, I’m leavin’ you.
I’ll be gone when you get home.
I’m tired of waitin’ up nights,
And sittin’ by the phone.
Loving someone who’s not true,
Has finally done me in.
I’d surrender to your lips,
But I don’t know where they’ve been.
Verse II:
It’s like a dog and pony show,
When you sneak in half past three.
And the smell of men’s cologne,
Says your show was not for me.
It’s time to leave you this note.
Farewell, adios, goodnight.
Up till now I’ve kept my head,
Where the sun don’t shine it’s light.
Chorus:
It’s check out time, I’m leavin’ you,
For a place near San Antone.
I’d be a fool if I didn’t see,
Your heart has turned to stone.
I’ll shed a tear leavin’ here,
Cause I’m cryin’ all alone.
Don’t wait up for me Dear,
Cause I won’t be coming home.
It’s check out time, I’m leavin’ you.
