Atlanta hotel room
Just before midnight
I sat straight up in bed and I
Said

Let's just sell everything
Give away the rest
Catch that last plane to Africa

It was a good idea at the time
That was one of my good ones
And as it turned out
I got away with it, oh
Oh

You've had a few yourself
Like that black dress
You're not completely innocent
No, oh

That downtown park in June
Early morning
You said, let's get married

That was a good idea at the time
That was one of your better ones
And as it turned out
You got away with it, oh
Oh

It seems to me these days
Everyone's crying
Trying to break their promises

Would we be good apart?
I just don't think so
Let's keep the promises we made

They seemed like a good idea at the time
That was maybe our best one
And as it turns out
We got away with it, oh
