I just woke you up to say goodbye
I remember that little country church
Where we were once wed yes oh my
Remember that old Hank Williams song that said
I’m so lonesome I could cry
Well I just woke you up to say goodbye
I know you said my love was all that you needed
But when things got tough you didn’t even try
You said you would love me forever
Or until the day that you would die
Well that may be true honey because
I still love you and that’s no lie
Old George Jones sang
Why baby why you make me cry baby cry
Was all your sweet talk and promises nothing more than a lie
You see my suitcase there by the door
So don’t even ask me why
I will be traveling down that old country road
That stretches on so long it seems to reach the sky
I am going where I can have a new life
And you won't ever make me cry
