She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye
Doug Gilmore, Mickey Newbury
Well morning’s come and oh my mind is achin’
Sunshine’s standing quietly at my door
Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking
And with my tears goes tumbling to the floor
Once again the whole town will be talking
Lord I’ve seen the pity in their eyes
They could never understand – it’s her sorrow it’s not a man
But no matter what they say we know she tried
Baby’s packed her soft things and she’s left me
I know she didn’t mean 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
