What's So Good About Goodbye

(Album: Country Memories - 1977)

Well the taxicab is waiting
And you've made up your mind
Pick up that old red suitcase
And Lord I start to die

Well I wish I could say something
But there ain't no road that's right
What's so fair about farewell
What's so good about goodbye

So long somehow sounds so long
I'll never live it through
See you around ain't what I mean though
It'll kill me if I do

Well there's just no way to say it
So I guess I won't even try
What's so fair about farewell
What's so good about goodbye

So I stand here in the doorway
And I watch you walk away
There's time enough for one last word
But Lord knows what I should say

So I search my mind just once more
But there ain't no word that's right
What's so fair about farewell
What's so good about goodbye

And so long somehow sounds so long
I'll never live it through
See you around ain't what I mean though
It'll kill me if I do

Well there's just no way to say it
So I guess I won't even try
What's so fair about farewell
What's so good about goodbye
