Goodbye - Mary Gauthier

Born a bastard child in New Orleans

To a woman I’ve never seen

I don’t know if she ever held me

All I know is she let go of me

So I passed through like thunder

I passed through like rain

Passed out from under

Goodbye could’ve been my family name

Every time I settle down it happens

I get a restless feeling I can’t control

I hit the wall then I hit the highway

I’ve got the curse of a gypsy on my soul

So I move through like thunder

I move through like rain

Moving out from under

Goodbye could’ve been my family name

I can’t break free of the winds that blow me

They roll in like a Gulf Coast Hurricane

I’d like to stay now but I don’t know how

Hold me, honey, till I’m gone again

When it’s time to leave forever

I pray the Lord, don’t take me slow

I don’t know where I’m going

Just let me say goodbye and go

And I’ll push through like thunder

I’ll push through like rain

Pushed out from under

Goodbye could’ve been my family name

I’ll push through like thunder

I’ll push through like rain

Pushed out from under

Goodbye could’ve been my family name

Goodbye could’ve been my family name

Goodbye could’ve been my family name
