Love You Goodbye

He was thinkin' back when he was a kid

His folks were divorced

His old man high on somethin'

Came knockin' at the doorHis mama wouldn't talk to him

She said, "Boy, don't you let him in"

She was cussin' and pacin'

And wastin' her life at that linoleum floorHe took him back to his old apartment

Turned off the TV

His beautiful broken hero on the couch

Passed out asleepAnd he put him to bed

With tears in his eyes

He said, "Dad, I love you, goodbye"He headed out into the night

Seventeen years old

Fired up that rusty old pickup

Turned his collar to the coldAnd he headed back to Mama's place

Ready for his big escape

And he tiptoed up the stairs

And left a note in the cover's foldIt said, "Mom, I wish I could wave a wand

And make you smile again

Bring back the man who stole your heart

'Fore the demons got to him""If I stay here any longer

Somethin' sacred's gonna die"

He said, "Mom, I love you, goodbye"Took a lot of wrong turns

On the road findin' his life

By the grace of God he ended up

With a boy and a wifeAnd the phone call came from his sister

'Twas that old familiar pain

His mother was at the doorstep

Of Heaven's pure white lightAt the end of the service

His father came up to him

Clear eyed and sober now

He said, "Boy, Jesus took my sins""And I pray someday

Maybe you'll forgive me too"

With tears in his eyes

He said, "Son, I love you, goodbye"His plane touched down in Texas

He pulled out his phone

Dialed in the number

Got the machine of his old man's homeHe said, "Dad we got an extra room

And your grandson has your eyes"

Couldn't say anything else

'Cause he started to cryAnd he choked out

"Dad, I love you, goodbye

Dad, I love you, goodbye"
