(an emergency distress signal)
it was mayday
it may’ve been out of the way
it was high time
unwilling and able to pay
it was mayday
my mayday gave me away
it was high time
decided to lead her astray
(and we left at the right time)
she was older
how old i will not ever say
she was all mine
now everything’s goin my way
(i look over my shoulder)
it was game time
writing me out of your will
and shooting to kill
it was mayday
they’re making me give her away
i pulled away at the right time
mayday
i know what you’re trying to say
it was game time
knowing the price players pay
it was mayday
taking a walk in the dark
with somebody’s sunshine
she was all mine
her momma gave her away
leavin’ just at the right time
