(Dickey Lee - Heather Myles)

I'm sorry if I left you without saying goodbye
Didn't think you'd understand the reasons why
By the time you read my letter I'll be crossing that line
If you're thinkin' I'll go get her then you're wasting your time
You're gonna find out baby I've been gone too long.

Don't cry for me baby after I'm gone
Save your dollars on the telephone
You're gonna need that money to pay the rent
'Cause I won't be comin' back with one red cent
You're gonna find out baby I've been gone too long
Bye, bye baby.

I sold that beat up Chevy to your best friend Phil
Had every intention of payin' them credit card bills
Now I don't know where I'm goin' but the signs say West
Ask me or your mother you can give her my regrets
You're gonna find out baby I've been gone too long.

--- Instrumental ---

Don't cry for me baby after I'm gone
Save your dollars on the telephone
You're gonna need that money to pay the rent
'Cause I won't be comin' back with one red cent
You're gonna find out baby I've been gone too long
Bye, bye baby.

You're gonna find out baby, I've been gone too long
Bye, bye baby, I 've got the check book with me
Oh, if you're looking for them golf clubs don't
You see I had this little yard sale
Oh darlin', don't forget the beanie doll, go now...
