Why'd you have to come to town when I'm gone
You could have picked a better day
Than when I'm away
It's just my luck
I'm going to miss you by half a day

Every time I'm making plans to be with you
I'm waiting for that other man to finish leaving you
What's my luck, I'm gonna miss you again

This feels like the night my plane goes down
Twenty minutes later your train gets to town
Why'd you have to come around when I'm away

I woke up on the coldest day I've ever known
I never strayed all summer long
But you weren't alone
It's just my luck I'll never miss you again

This feels like the night my plane goes down
Twenty minutes later your train gets to town
Why'd you have to come around when I'm away
You could have picked a better day then when I'm gone
WHy'd you have to come around when I'm away
