I got a long lonesome row to hoe
and I'm hoeing it all alone
You bet dime to a dollar that I'd scream and holler
Once you left me on my own

Well now the hollerin's over and there ain't no shoulder
To hang my head on and cry cry cry
I guess I've never been too good at goodbyes

Well I was feeling half parched so I marched on in
To this bar to have drink inside
Lord it just happened to be the bar where she met me
But a man's gotta keep his pride
As soon as I ordered, who but no other
Standing right before my eyes
I guess I've never been too good at goodbyes

Well now the first part, where you say "hello"
I'm the king of all the joes
And the second part, where you give 'em your heart
Well I'm the biggest fool that I know
Well it's the last part, where I ain't so smart
She says, "Get lost and die die die."
I guess I've never been too good at goodbyes
