A Goodbye Joke Songtext
von George Jones

No, she not gone forever
She′s just playing one of her games
And tonight when I get home
Everything will be the same.

'Cause when I woke up this morning
Yes, I found her goodbye note
It just a game she′s plays
It just a goodbye joke.


She's just goin' downtown shopping
She′ll bring me back some sporty clothes
′Cause I'm always on her mind
No matter where she plans to go.

If I thought she was gone forever
Lord, I′d find me a hangin' rope
That′s why I'm drifting now
It′s just a goodbye joke.

Ain't it funny the sense of humor
A woman can have sometimes
Especially that lovely woman of mine.

Hey, bartender won't you bring me a drink
′Cause I still like?
On the words she wrote
In her little goodbye joke...
