I told her I wouldn't miss her at all
As she walked through the door I couldn't care less If she didn't care anymore And with tears in my eyes, I lied I was glad we were through As she drove away crying At the famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart And I don't love you Famous last words of a fool The first night without her would be easy I kept tellin' myself All the while dyin' at the thought of her lyin' Somewhere else There'll be nothin' to it I'll easily find someone new As my breaking heart echoes The famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart And I don't love you Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart And I don't love you Famous last words of a fool |

She looked so much like a lady
But she was so much like a child A devil when she held me close An angel when she smiled She always held it deep inside But somehow I always knew She'd go away when the grass turned green And the sky turned baby blue Baby Blue was the color of her eyes Baby Blue like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know why so Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight She brought colors to my life That my eyes had never touched And when she taught me how to care I never cared so much I try not to think of her but I fall asleep and do And drift off where the grass is green And the sky is baby blue Baby Blue was the color of her eyes Baby Blue like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know why so Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight |

If you got a Cadillac boy and a 40 room shack boy
A bucket full of money and a tree full of honey But if you're gettin' no huggin' No smoochin' or a muggin' If you ain't lovin' Then you ain't livin' If you're ridin' on a gravy train Instead of walkin' down lovers lane You can't make hey boy 'Cause you're goin' the wrong way boy You gotta get a a little honey It's better than money If you ain't lovin' Then you ain't livin' If they call you a big man 'Cause you got a lot of bottled land If you're kin to the President And ya help from the Government But if you're gettin' no attention You're better off on the pension If you ain't lovin Then you ain't livin' If you got a string of long cards And you're smokin' them 4 bid cigars You ain't so well to do Unless you get a little coochy-coo It takes a little bit a smackin' Or your lifes lackin' If you ain't lovin' Then you ain't livin' |

What a rotten day this turned out to be
I still can't believe she'd leave so easily She just got all her things, threw 'em into a pile Then she loaded her car and said after a while She'd done this before, but this time she didnt cry. That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, starin' down the road Wondering if she'll come back this time, I dont know After she packed when she looked back, There were no tears in her eyes, and that's got me worried, Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye. All the times before' she'd break down and cry She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye She just wanetd me to hear what she had to say Now I'm lost for words, saying she went away She may not return for this time she didn't cry. That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, starin' down the road Wondering if she'll come back this time, I dont know After she packed when she looked back, There were no tears in her eyes, and that's got me worried, Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye. That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, starin' down the road Wondering if she'll come back this time, I dont know After she packed when she looked back, There were no tears in her eyes, and that's got me worried, Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye... |

What's going on in your world? I hope that you're doing fine.
I just called to say there's not a day that you don't cross my mind. I just wanted to see if you feel like me - sorry that we said goodbye. So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine. Just tell me that you're happy and I'll hang up the phone. Just tell me you don't need me anymore and I'll leave you alone. I just wondered if you had somebody new after all of this time. So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine. Just tell me that you're happy and I'll hang up the phone. Just tell me you don't need me anymore and I'll leave you alone. I just wondered if you had somebody new after all of this time. So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine.

I got sent home from school one day
With a shiner on my eye Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why When Dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed Then stood there on those tremblin' knees And waited for the worst He said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" He said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then, It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" When I became a father in the spring of '81 There was no doubt that stubborn boy Was just like my father's son And when I thought my patience Had been tested to the end I took my daddy's secret and passed it on to him I said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" I said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake If they know half the things I've done They'll never let me in Then somewhere from the other side I heard those words again They said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us You see, daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" |

So upset
Nervous wreck I can't believe she said goodbye Sit and smoke Cry and joke About these tears in my eyes How could you do what you gone and done to me I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you A million times A million lines and I bought 'em every one You don't care You rip and tear every dream I've counted on I guess I should thank my unlucky stars That I'm alive And you're the way you are But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you How could you do what you gone and done to me I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you I could raise hell But what the hell it wouldn't do a bit of good I can leave My heart agrees it seems to think that I should There won't be no more next time doing me wrong You'll come back this time to find that I'm gone But that's what you get You should expect that from me That's what I get I've come to expect it from you. |
