Wave Goodbye to Me

Jean Shepard · Many Happy Hangovers [1966]

(Waylon Jennings - Don Bowman)



I'm just here to get my things and I'll be leavin'

And I've got somebody waitin' just outside

So don't start to cry to me about your hurt and misery

'Cause the only thing that's hurtin' is your pride.



So just wave goodbye to me and I'll be leavin'

Just walk me to the door and say so long

No need talking anymore saying things I've heard before

Just wave goodbye to me and I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone

Wave goodbye to me and I'll be gone.



Go tell all our friends how bad I've hurt you

Tell 'em how I've caused you all this pain

But when they start askin' you just why I left instead of you

That might not be so easy to explain.



So just wave goodbye to me and I'll be leavin'

Just walk me to the door and say so long

No need talking anymore saying things I've heard before

Just wave goodbye to me and I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone

Wave goodbye to me and I'll be gone.



Just wave goodbye to me and I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone

Wave goodbye to me and I'll be gone...
