goodbye song
"You Won't Find Me"



Don't think I am there
I am not

Don't think I will be coming home
I won"t

Don't expect fish in the frying pan
no cornbread
no supper tonight

I'm gone
I'm gone
I've gone away
far far away

You didn't really expect me to stay
did you?

Buy your cigarettes and cry in your beer
I won't be back
I'm nowhere near

I'm gone
I'm gone
I've gone away
You have seen
my very last day
I am far away
so far far way

Call your mama
visit you pa
cry your woes and plead your case
You'll never again
see my face

For I am gone
gone far away
building for myself
a brand new day

I'm gone, gone
you must believe
no more late nights with your lies
no more washing your shirts
with her perfume on the sleeve

Say hello to an empty house
say goodbye to this married life

Because you see
I've gone, gone
gone away
far away
You won't find me
this I pray
for I am gone
gone gone
gone so far away
