Radney Foster - Don't Say Goodbye lyrics

rate me

Well I heard it from confidential sources

you've been thinking 'bout losing my name

and you've been dialin' some unlisted number

at some Memphis, TN exchange

Well your plannin' on headin' down the highway

and this time you're going for good

well honey don't think twice 'bout the pain you leave behind

just do me one favor if you would

Don't say goodbye, just slam the door

Don't apologize, that only makes it hurt more

all your sympathy, will only make me cry

so get out, go on, get gone, and don't say goodbye

Now you were hoping you could break it to me gently

you were thinkin' we could part as friends

If I'd only try and remain civil

I'd see it your way in the end

Well pardon me if I beg to differ

'cause I'm the one who's gotta live with the pain

and when you're out on the town, I'll still be broke down

don't you bother with tryin' to explain

[chorus]

I don't need to have all the reasons numbered

You can save those condolences for some other guy

baby some other time

[chorus]
