A fictional tale of an often-exprienced reality.

Song Description

The hero of this song has tried to make it in the music business only to find disappointment and the painful realization that he lost a precious love along the way.

Lyrics

I figured I could make it
'cause I could write a song
And if I worked it hard enough
It won't take long
But this grim town consumes you
Chews you up cold
And spits you out to wander on
Down Drubbing Row

So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I've been here too long
There's a sleepy town waiting for a fool who's still unknown
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home

She told me that she loved me
Said I should settle down
Instead of chasing thimble rig
Around this town
But me I knew better
And I knew she would wait
She said she had her life to lead
I left her anyway

So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I've been here too long
There's a sleepy town waiting for a fool who's still unknown
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home

Last time that I wrote her
I vowed to quit this game
But on her terse reply
She'd signed a stranger's name
I know I'm lost without her
Like I've been all along
I knew right at that moment
I'd written my last song

So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I've been here too long
There's a sleepy town waiting for a fool who's still unknown
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home
Goin' home
Goin' home
I'm goin' home
