You Didn't Kiss Me Good-Bye

Alternative lyrics that fit the tune for "My Wife's Home Town"
Poetic License Disclaimer: Truth is bent to fit the meter
(It's all good..in good fun, that is)


You didn't kiss me good-bye, but I saw your tears
You hit the road so fast you was jammin' them gears
I stood there cryin' in that dyin' light
'Cause my sun disappeared when you drove out of sight
Out of sight

Now I've admitted my sins and begged for your grace
I've played the fool for you and even changed my face
I've moved out of them digs that we called a home
And I've tried my damn best just to leave you alone
Leave you alone

You didn't kiss me good-bye, but I saw you wave
Now I know how it feels in a pissed-on grave
You didn't write me no letters, or send me no cards
But you made damn sure I got your blackest regards
Your blackest regards

I've got an old suitcase crammed so full of crap
Your pictures, torn dresses, and stuff like that
My boots are pulled on and my belt tied tight
The sun is goin' down and I'm lonesome tonight
I'm lonesome tonight

You didn't kiss me good-bye, but I had to let go
I thought you were unhappy 'cause you screamed it so
I didn't try to dispute you, I didn't put no fight
'Cause my sun went down when you yelled that night
You yelled that night

I've got a head full of blues and old cowboy songs
Some are well-known tunes, but the words are my own
I ain't never gonna say "you treated me unkind"
But please honey won't you trust me one more time?
One more time

You know my folks say I'm crazy and your friends do, too
But a love this good don't make us nobody's fool
I'll hold you in my arms and squeeze you oh so tight
Our love will make the sun come up every night
Up every night
