I Think I Just Missed The Gravy Train

[Long Intro] [Verse 1] 
I made it to the station, I was standing at the gate.
 Waiting for my big break from the hand of fate
 But when that whistle blew, all I got was rain— 
Oh Lord, I think I just missed the gravy train. [Chorus]
 The genie is out of the bottle, and the ship has sailed, 
My dreams are dashed and the check’s in the mail.
 I was standing in line, now I’m alone again,
 Oh Lord, I think I just missed the gravy train. [Verse 2]
 My neighbor hit the jackpot selling greasy spoons,
 My brother got rich making his dog sing tunes.
 I tried to cash in, And said: “Now make my day”
 Turns out nobody wants a guy in a cheap toupee— [Chorus]
 The genie is out of the bottle, and the ship has sailed,
 My dreams are dashed and the check’s in the mail.
 I was counting my chickens before the champagne,
 Oh Lord, I think I just missed the gravy train. [Bridge]
 I had big ideas and a get-rich scheme,
 But the gravy’s on my shirt, and lady luck is mean.
 Luck’s a tricky dancer, never calls my name, She’s always two steps ahead in a sick rigged game. [Long Solo] [Verse 3]
 They say opportunity don’t knock twice, But I hear a whistle blowing, I’m ready to roll the dice Maybe that wasn’t my train, just a test of my spine— Another one’s bound to roll down the line. [Chorus] 
The genie is out of the bottle, and the ship has sailed,
 My dreams are dashed and the check’s in the mail. 
I’m not giving up, I’m on this platform in the rain—
 Oh Lord, I think I just missed the gravy train. [Outro]
 Patience builds character, or so they claim. Maybe next time I’ll play the game. With my ticket in hand and a brand-new name — I’m ready for that gravy train! [Outro] [End Song] [End]
