No she not gone forever she's just playing one of her games And tonight when I get home everything will be the same Cause when I woke up this morning yes I found her goodbye note It's just a game she's plays it's just a goodbye joke She's just goin' downtown shopping she'll bring me back some sporty clothes Cause I'm always on her mind no matter where she plans to go If I thought she was gone forever Lord I'd find me a hangin' rope That's why I'm breaking now it's just a goodbye joke Ain't it funny the sense of humor a woman can have sometimes Especially that lovely woman of mine Hey bartender won't you bring me a drink cause I feel like I might choke On the words she wrote in her little goodbye joke
