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 up late at night I gave you four years of chances To try and fill a happy home But now one more may as well be A million and one And now you know you lost me, darling And you can't me back Ain't that just like a man To change so fast Because you want what you can't have And now I'm going to say it slowly Before I got 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 up late at night I gave you four years of chances To try and fill a happy home But now one more may as well be A million and one I found myself a good man now You know he treats me like he should We live in a shack by a railroad track He's out back chopping wood 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 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 and 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 --- Four Years of Chances - Margo Price
