Goodbye Nancy

Goodbye, Nancy, Goodbye, Nancy
Good Bye Nancy, Good Bye Nancy
Maybe someday, You’ll keep your promises

Sometimes I live on the river
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have a small notion
To leap off a cliff and die

Goodbye, Nancy, Goodbye, Nancy
Good Bye Nancy, Good Bye Nancy
Maybe someday, You’ll keep your promises

Give up Lying and quit scheming
Stop scamming me, please
Come to me darling and stay put


Goodbye, Nancy, Goodbye, Nancy
Good Bye Nancy, Good Bye Nancy
Maybe someday, You’ll keep your promises

I don’t know where you are
Your pastor said you don’t want me to know
It’s not easy being stranded or lost
I have regrets but wish it had worked out

Goodbye, Nancy, Goodbye, Nancy
Good Bye Nancy, Good Bye Nancy
Maybe someday, You’ll keep your promises

Goodbye, Nancy, Goodbye, Nancy
Good Bye Nancy, Good Bye Nancy
Maybe someday, You’ll keep your promises

You make me feel guilty, You cause me to feel down
You make me help in ways, I can’t
But the actual final words you said 
Were "Wanted to make things right"

Goodbye, Nancy, Goodbye, Nancy
Good Bye Nancy, Good Bye Nancy
Maybe someday, You’ll keep your promises
But until then, it's goodbye!
