| He always found it hard to take her
|
| She wouldn’t listen to advice
|
| And though he never tried to make her
|
| She often thought it would be nice
|
| Oh, and now she’s headin' out to California
|
| It’s been a long time comin'
|
| But she’s feelin' like a woman tonight
|
| And she left a little letter
|
| Said she’s gonna make a stop in Nevada
|
| Goodbye. |
| Goodbye
|
| She tried for years to be a good wife
|
| It never quite got off the ground
|
| And all those stories of the good life
|
| Convinced her not to hang around
|
| Oh, and now she’s headin' out to California
|
| And she doesn’t know what’s comin'
|
| But she sure knows what she’s leavin' behind
|
| And she left a little letter
|
| Said she’s gonna make a stop in Nevada
|
| Goodbye. |
| Goodbye
|
| And though she finds it hard to leave him
|
| She knows it would be worse to stay
|
| He wouldn’t understand the reasons
|
| That make a woman run away
|
| Oh, and now she’s headin' out to California
|
| With some money in her pocket
|
| She’s a rocket on the Fourth of July
|
| And she left a little letter
|
| Said she’s gonna make a stop in Nevada
|
| Goodbye. |
| Goodbye |
