Lyrics
Left you a letter in a combo box
Saw a live feed when the truck pulled up
You were running hot, I couldn't sit still
I was busy pushing rocks up that hill
I ain't been in love in a long time
And I'm not the one who gets cast aside
All my hopes, all your sins
Hope you realize it's goodbye again

Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Goodbye again, babe
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Listen!

I'm a wanted man from Wichita
Snakeskin boots running from the law
Made a wrong left at the Oklahoma line
Roadblock ahead, guess I'm out of time
Leavenworth Prison here I come
Ain't no mercy for what I done
Judge looked at me with a Tulsa grin
Said, "I hope you realize it's goodbye again"

Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it

No place lower than down and out
I had to move back to my momma's house
Two drink drunk, one night stand
Momma said, "Son, it's goodbye again"

What'd my momma say?

Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
Hope you realize it's goodbye again, hope you realize it
