Please don't hate me mama for what I'm about to do
But the good times we've had together are just about now
through

Please don't misunderstand me, I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better if I told you now
goodbye


[Chorus:]
I'm back on the road again, it's time I leave you now

And maybe I'll see you next time, that I'm around
Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your
way

I'm back on the road again, I'm on my way

Well I've loved you since the day I met you and I'll love you

till the day I die
But we both know the life I'm livin and we both know the reason
why

That I've got to leave ya mama and I've got to leave today
But you know that I'll see you next time that I come through
your town to play


[Chorus] ooh, bye-bye baby


[Solo]

[Chorus]
