I'M CHECKING OUT
(Mickey Jaco)

Conway Twitty - 1968



 
Lately you've been actin' kinda strange it's true
Everybody knows there's been a change in you
You come home for a while and then you're gone again
Well, I thought I'd better let you know just where I stand

I'm tired of bein' the loser in this game you play
You're gonna wish you'd been truer when I'm gone someday
You'll try to get me to come back but I won't make a deal
And I thought I'd better let you know just how I feel

I feel like cryin' each night when I'm alone
I feel like dyin' each time you don't come home

But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new
And just in case you're wond'rin' what it's all about
Well I thought I'd better let you know I'm checkin' out

I feel like cryin' each time you don't come home
I feel like dyin' at night when I'm alone

But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new
And just in case you're wond'rin' what it's all about
Well I thought I'd better let you know I'm checkin' out

Yes, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checkin' out
