Please dont hate me mama for what Im about to do
But the good times weve had together are just about now through
Please dont misunderstand me, I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better if I told you now goodbye
Im back on the road again, its time I leave you now
And maybe Ill see you next time, that Im around
Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your way
Im back on the road again, Im on my way
Well Ive loved you since the day I met you and Ill love you till the day I die
But we both know the life Im livin and we both know the reason why
That Ive got to leave ya mama and Ive got to leave today
But you know that Ill see you next time that I come through your town to play
(chorus) ooh, bye-bye baby
(solo)
