BRAND NEW GOODBYE SONG 
(Chips Moman / Reggie Young)

Waylon Jennings - 1976


 

Baby go down to the drugstore, buy me a guitar string
Be sure to wear your coat, girl, 'cause it might rain
'Cause honey you know that rain
Is bad for my guitar strings

Put on your warm coat, honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin'
My brand new goodbye song

Baby, I've tried your doctors, they just couldn't make me well
The higher I tried to climb, the farther I fell
I guess it must have blew my mind
Sniffin' the fumes of hell

Put on your warm coat, honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
You're just before hearin'
A brand new goodbye song

(Instrumental Break)

Baby, throw away my pillow just before you turn the light
All you'll have next to you now will be the night
I'll be somewhere wrong
You'll be somewhere right

Yeah, put on your warm coat, honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
You're just before hearin'
A brand new goodbye song
