It Just Don't Take Me Long to Say Goodbye

(Bill Anderson)



I didn't see no sense in me just sittin' here

And draggin' out the pain

There's nothin' you can say or do

To ever make me want for you again.



You say I've turned my back on you

I'm runnin' out but baby that's a lie

It just don't take me long

To say goodbye.



I told you when I met you

Not to put your chain of love on me too tight

Or you'd look up and find me slipping out

Into the freedom of the night.



I didn't mean to hurt you babe

I think you know I ain't that kinda guy

But it just don't take me long

To say goodbye.



It just don't take me long to change my shirt

And call a cab and catch a train

There ain't nothing we can talk about

And baby, I've got nothing to explain.



All I'm taking is my body so don't ever say

I left you high and dry

It just don't take me long

To say goodbye.



It just don't take me long

To say goodbye...
