Steve Earle - Goodbye's All We've Got Left lyrics

rate me

I could tell it when I woke up this mornin'

'Cause I can smell it when a heartache's comin'

Not that I'm in such 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

'Cause goodbye's all we've got left to say

I don't think that it'll 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

Guess I just don't feel much like bad news today

Goodbye's all we've got left to say

Don't try to call me 'cause I'm takin' my phone out

'Cause if it rings, 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 goin' your way

Goodbye's all we've got left to say
