I Got Home Just in Time to Say Goodbye

Ronnie Milsap · 20-20 Vision [RCA Victor] [1976]

(Wayne Kemp - Bill Emerson)



I woke up a thousand miles from home this morning

Sweatin' from a bad dream that I had

I rode all night to get back home to you

I can't remember when I needed you this bad.



And I got home just in time to see you leaving

And you walked out just in time to see me cry

What my eyes are seeing now I'm not believing

'Cause I got home just in time to say goodbye.



--- Instrumental ---



There he was standing right next to our roses

A half way between the door and the gate

I walk through that man just like I didn't know him

'Cause after all a loser don't have much to say.



And I got home just in time to see you leaving

And you walked out just in time to see me cry

What my eyes are seeing now I'm not believing

'Cause I got home just in time to say goodbye.



'Cause I got home just in time to say goodbye...
