It Just Don't Take Me Long To Say Goodbye
Written and recorded by Bill Anderson
 
C
I didn't see no sense in me just sittin' here 
                     F
And draggin' out the pain
        G7
There's nothin' you can say or do 
                             C
To ever make me want for you again


You say I've turned my back on you 
                                  F
I'm runnin' out but baby that's a lie
   G7                                 C
It just don't take me long to say goodbye


I told you when I met you 
                                       F
Not to put your chain of love on me to tight
   G7
Or you'd look up and find me slipping out 
                        C
Into the freedom of the night


I didn't mean to hurt you babe 
                                    F
I think you know I ain't that kinda guy
       G7                                 C
But it just don't take me long to say goodbye

   F
It just don't take me long to change my shirt 
                           C
And call a cab and catch a train

There ain't nothing we can talk about 
                               G7
And baby I've got nothing to explain

        C
All I'm taking is my body 
                                      F
So don't ever say I left you high and dry
   G7                                 C
It just don't take me long to say goodbye

   G7                                 C
It just don't take me long to say goodbye
