SHE EVEN WOKE ME UP TO SAY GOODBYE
(Mickey Newbury - Doug Gilmore)

Morning's come and Lord my mind is aching yes it is
Sunshine standing quietly at my door
Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking
With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor

Once again the whole town will be talking yes they will
Lord I've seen the pity that's in their eyes
They can never understand it's her sorrow it's not a man
And no matter what they say we know she tried

Baby's packed her soft things and she's left me she's left me she's left me
And I know she didn't mean to make me cry
It's not her heart Lord it's her mind she didn't mean to be unkind
Why she even woke me up to say goodbye

It's not her heart Lord it's her mind...
Goodbye baby
