I won't say so long, I'll just sing a simple song
All it says is goodbye for now
This ain't fare-thee-well, no melancholy tale
All it is is goodbye for now
This really ain't the end
You might see me 'round the bend
You'll know me by the guitar on my back
This ain't my final bow, we'll meet again somehow
All it is is goodbye for now
It's time for me to fly, that don't mean it's time to cry
All it means is goodbye for now
The road is callin' me but soon enough you'll see
All this is is goodbye for now
The rain might soak my shoes
To help me sing the blues
But you know the blues ain't really all that sad
They drive me down the line for the wisdom & the wine
I lift my glass to goodbye for now
You'll ask me not to go but you could never know
That all I do is goodbye for now
I slept upon your floor & would gladly ask for more
But soon enough you'd say goodbye for now
They say I'm on the run
But my journey's just begun
Someday I'll see your face when you're standing in my place
And the earth & sky bid me goodbye for now
