Sound Of A Woman Sayin' Goodbye

SOUND OF A WOMAN SAYIN' GOODBYE

WELL I LEFT THAT HOUSE A HALF HOUR AGO
WITH THE PIECES OF MY HEART AND A TRAILER IN TOW
I HIT THAT HIGHWAY LIKE A WOMAN POSSESSED
I GAVE THAT OLD CHEVY ENGINE THE ULTIMATE TEST
RIGHT ABOUT NOW HE’S WALKING THROUGH THAT DOOR
WONDERING WHY I AIN’T THERE NO MORE
LISTENING TO THE SILENCE WITH A TEAR IN HIS EYE…THAT’S
THE SOUND OF A WOMAN SAYING GOODBYE

WELL HE LEFT ME CRYING TOO MANY TIMES
SO I’M IN THIS CAR TO DRIVE HIM OUT OF MY MIND
I TOOK WHAT PRIDE I HAD WHEN WE MET
I LEFT BEHING THE PAIN, THE BLUES, THE REGRET
RIGHT ABOUT NOW HE’S CALLING OUT MY NAME
HE THINKS I’M PLAYING SOME KIND OF GAME
HE’S WAITING FOR AN ANSWER BUT THERE’S NO REPLY…THAT’S
THE SOUND OF A WOMAN SAYING GOODBYE

BRIDGE
THAT’S THE SOUND YOU HEAR WHEN A GOOD WOMAN LEAVES
WHEN YOU TELL THE LAST LIE SHE DON’T BELIEVE
THAT’S THE SOUND OF HER MAKIN’ A BRAND NEW START
THAT’S THE SOUND OF HER BREAKING YOUR CHEATING HEART

WELL I PASSED THE CITY LIMITS FLYIN’ LIKE THE WIND
I’LL NEVER HANG MY HEART IN THAT TOWN AGAIN
GOT PLACES TO GO, PEOPLE TO SEE
IT’S GOOD TO BE YOUNG, IT’S GOOD TO BE FREE
RIGHT ABOUT NOW HE’S LOOKING FOR A NOTE
BUT HE WON’T FIND NONE AND THAT’S ALL SHE WROTE
MY FOOT HITS THE FLOOR AND THAT ENGINE CRIES…THAT’S
THE SOUND OF A WOMAN SAYING GOODBYE
