Lyrics Goodbye Cleveland - Robert Earl Keen

Goodbye Cleveland

I been down this street once or twice
i played the bars and the blues
never took noone’s advice
to me its all yesterday’s news
and we would drink an old flannery
we were drinkin' and drinkin' some more
the clock struck a quarter to three
the cops busted right in the door
(Refrain)
Goodbye Clevland
turn down the rock and roll
turn out the light
Goodbye Clevland
Goodbye, Good luck and goodnight
she had the rock and the roll
born with the brass and the style
they took her heart and her soul
she ain’t been back in a while
theres Blind Blake and Willie McTell
outburn and outburn and can
there’s bankers and wankers in hell
who’d give it all back just to sell
(Refrain)
I buried my ma and my pa
i left you some cash on the shelf
i’m goin' down south 'till I thaw
i’ll be better off by myself
Goodbye Clevland
Turn down the rock and roll turn out the lights
Goodbye Clevland
Goodbye, Goodluck, and Goodbye Cleavland
turn down the rock and roll, turn out the lights
goodby clevland … good bye, goodluck and goodnight
good bye, goodluck and goodnight
