Concrete Cowboys: MUSIC

I Think I Just Told Her Goodbye (Click For Lyrics/Story)

(Concrete Cowboys)
Travis Dow-Chad Kessner
I think I'd been listening to a little too much Brad Paisley when this came out. Still, it was only mildly humorous until Chad started spouting profane things (like being from Idaho, apparently) all over the track.
It was nice, on these five newer songs, to have both Darin Wirth's bass playing and his excellent high harmonies on everything. That adds a lot to the songs.
Also Al's right at home here with the Chet Atkins-style pickin' and grinnin'.
-T.D.
I think I told her everything that I had on my mind
Every time she let me down or treated me unkind
I covered all the bases, laid it all out on the line
But I think I may have told her goodbye

Goodbye

I never meant to end it, hey, it hasn't been all bad
I only meant to tell her what she does that makes me mad
By the finger she just showed me and the cuss words she let fly
I think that I just told her goodbye

Goodbye

Chorus:
She asked me what was wrong so what was I supposed to say
I didn't want to lie and tell her everything's okay
I always say the wrong thing when she wants to have a "chat"
But I never thought I'd make her mad enough to call me...that

SOLO

I'm feelin' so much better now, the weight is off my chest
Communication is the key, I think I've done my best
But I'm sittin' all alone and maybe that's the reason why
I think that I just told her goodbye

Goodbye

Repeat Chorus

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
