GOODBYE'S ALL WE'VE GOT LEFT TO SAY
(Steve Earle)


Steve Earle - 1985





I could tell it when I woke up this mornin'
'Cause I can smell it when a heartache's comin'
It's not that I'm in a hurry to lose you
I'd call you up, but there's nothin' that I can do

Talkin' won't do any good anyway
Goodbye is all we've got left to say

I don't think it's gonna get any better
So maybe you could just write me a letter
And I could open it up when I'm stronger
Another ten or twelve years, maybe longer

I guess I just don't feel much like bad news today
Goodbye is all we've got left to say

(Instrumental Break)

Ahh, now don't try to call me 'cause I've taken my phone out
And if it rings, then I'll know what it's about
And don't you worry 'bout me 'cause I'm alright
Maybe you'll run into me somewhere some night

And if you do just keep going your way
Ahh, goodbye is all we've got left to say
Ah, goodbye is all we've got left to say
