Lyrics
Goodbye Joke
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No she not gone forever she's just playing one of her games
And tonight when I get home everything will be the same
Cause when I woke up this morning yes I found her goodbye note
It's just a game she's plays it's just a goodbye joke
She's just goin' downtown shopping she'll bring me back some sporty clothes
Cause I'm always on her mind no matter where she plans to go
If I thought she was gone forever Lord I'd find me a hangin' rope
That's why I'm breaking now it's just a goodbye joke
Ain't it funny the sense of humor a woman can have sometimes
Especially that lovely woman of mine
Hey bartender won't you bring me a drink cause I feel like I might choke
On the words she wrote in her little goodbye joke
