She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye
Mickey Newbury
Well, the morning's come and Lord my mind is aching
The sunshine's quietly standing at my door
Just like the dawn my heart is slowly breaking
With my tears, it goes tumbling to the floor
Once again the whole town will be talking
It's more I've seen the pity in their eyes
They could never understand, it's her sorrow not her man
No matter what they say I know she tried
Baby's packed her soft things and oh she's left me
I know she never meant to make me cry
It's not her heart Lord, it's her mind, she didn't mean to be unkind
Why she even woke me up to say goodbye
