Don’t Say Goodbye:

Well I heard it from confidential sources
you’ve been thinking ‘bout losing my name
and you’ve been dialin’ some unlisted number
at some Memphis, TN exchange
Well your plannin’ on headin’ down the highway
and this time you’re going for good
well honey don’t think twice ‘bout the pain you leave behind
just do me one favor if you would
Don’t say goodbye, just slam the door
Don’t apologize, that only makes it hurt more
all your sympathy, will only make me cry
so get out, go on, get gone, and don’t say goodbye
D (HOLD D)
Now you were hoping you could break it to me gently
you were thinkin’ we could part as friends
If I’d only try and remain civil
I’d see it your way in the end
Well pardon me if I beg to differ
‘cause I’m the one who’s gotta live with the pain
and when you’re out on the town, I’ll still be broke down
don’t you bother with tryin’ to explain
(chorus)
I don’t need to have all the reasons numbered
You can save those condolences for some other guy
baby some other time
(chorus)

Capo 5

Now every father’s child’s taught to do like their told
Not every son or daughter is gonna fit the mold
If you feel like your life callin’s been a slave to the mud
Down in every desert there’s a burnin’ bush
When the world starts shovin’, give it back a push

Chorus:
There’s another way to go
Another way to try, another way to dream about it
Everybody tell you no
Don’t ever let ‘em break you down
Look for another way to go, go

You can paint it any color any color that you want
Throw a dart at the map baby fly swim or walk
You can cut it up and toss all the pieces in the air
They land where they land, do what you do
You don’t need a reason, forget the excuse

Chorus

Down in every desert there’s a burnin’ bush
When the world starts shovin’, man give it back a push
Give it back a push

Chorus

Capo 2

Baby, take my car keys, put em in your pocket
Lord knows, I got no business with em
I been nursing half a beer for half an hour
But the [C/B]whole room’s spinning

My brain is actually buzzing with the vertigo I’m feeling
Got nothin’ to do with inebriation
That kiss that you just hammered me with, girl
Oh, it’s a staggering revelation

Chorus:
Baby I never drank that much
To get this high I must be drunk on love
Baby I’m flyin on a stone cold rush
To get this high I must be drunk on love

I been down on my knees before the porcelain throne
Suffering the wrath of the God of Tequila
After dancing on the bar
Doing my very best cowboy ballerina
(You oughta see it)

Chorus

I built a pyramid of beer cans on a bar top in Austin
Laid to rest in em like some ancient Egyptian
I can see well enough to know, baby
You’re my favorite kind of intervention

Chorus

Oh, baby, I’m so , I’m so drunk on love.
Baby, drunk on love.
(Drunk on love, drunk on love)

Oh, baby, I’m so , I’m so drunk on love
Baby, drunk on love
(Drunk on love, drunk on love)

Oh, baby, I’m so , I’m so drunk on love
Baby, drunk on love
(Drunk on love, love, c’mon)
Gimme another shot (ha, ha, ha)

Drunk on love, ooh, ooh, ooh
Drunk on love, ooh, ooh, ooh
Drunk on love, ooh, ooh, ooh
Drunk on love, ooh, ooh, ooh
Drunk on love, ooh, ooh, ooh
Drunk on love, ooh, ooh, ooh

#Verse 1:
Old Silver died
Last Saturday evening
Or was it more like
Ten years ago?
She laid two dozen roses
On the top of his coffin
And buried them deep
Where they never would grow
Lord she buried them deep
Where they never would grow
Verse 2:
Now the Irish are funny
They’ll cry when they have to
And the lady she moaned
Such a mournful sound
Me and the Mexican
Just finished the bottle
And remembered the days
When Old Silver was around
Yea remembered the days
When Old Silver was around
Bridge:
[G-Am-Em7] Chorus:
Old Silver took
The best of it with him
The lovers and the dealers
And the dreamers of dreams
Bridge:
Old Silver took
The love of a lady
Who never got over
Old Silver and me
Lord she never got over
Old Silver and me
Instrumental:
[Em-D-Cadd9-G] Verse 3:
Old Silver had the magic
And he carried the money
With the grace of a gambler
And he lost it for years
He knew his lines better
Than a good carney barker
Wore the best damn boots
That you ever have seen
Had the best snakeskin boots
That you ever have seen
Verse 4:
Now the lady she loved him
She never asked questions
Though she lay awake wonderin
On many a night
She swore she was leavin
Most every morning
But she always would kiss him
When he turned out the lights
She was always right there
When he turned out the lights

Verse 5:
Now there’s always a sidekick
In every B Western
Who’s always in love
With a lady who leaves
She can’t stand the memory
So I really don’t blame her
For takin the very
First Greyhound she’d seen
God I hate her for takin
the first Greyhound she’d seen

[Em-D-Cadd9-G] Outro:
Old Silver died
Last Saturday evening
Or was it more like
Ten years ago?
