I'm Bringin' Home Good News

(album: Pride In What I Am - 1969)

Yeah, I'm bringing home some good news
Got some things you'll be glad to hear
Like I'm leaving town and won't be back around
Just long enough to get my gear.

There won't be any goodbye kisses
Well, I'm putting on my leaving shoes
This is the end we're through it's over
Yeah, I'm bringing home some good news.

Well, I was sitting downtown in a tavern
And I made up my mind to go
And I knew you would be so glad to be free
I just thought to call you to let you know.

Oh, you can tell all your backdoor daddys
That your big daddy's done blew a fuse
This is the end, we're through, it's over
Yeah, I'm bringing home some good news.

To you I been known as bad news
Well, I'm changing my first name
And I'm giving you your freedom baby
That old race won't kinda change.

Yeah, go to hide your lookman slippers
I won't be looking around for blues
This is the end, we're through, it's over
Yeah I'm bringing home some good news.

Good news, there's some good news for you honey
I'm bringing home some good news
I'm bringing home some good news honey...
