Please don't hate me mama for what I'm about to do. But the good times we've had together are just about now through. Please don't misunderstand me I hate to see you cry. But I think that it might look better if I told you now goodbye. I'm back on the road again it's time I leave you now. And maybe I'll see you next time that I'm around. Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your way. I'm back on the road again I'm on my way. Well I've loved you since the day I met you and I'll love you til the day I die. But we both know the life I'm livin' and we both know the reason why. That I've got to leave ya mama and I've got to leave today. But you know that I'll see you next time that I come through your town to play. (chorus) ook bye - bye baby. (solo). (chorus)
