Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mornin's come and Lord, my mind is achin'
Yes, it is
Sunshine standin' quietly at my door
Just like the dawn my heart is silently breakin'
With my tears it goes tumblin' to the floor
[Verse 2]
Once again the whole town will be talkin'
Yes, they will
Lord, I've seen the pity that's in their eyes
They could never understand
It's her sorrow, it's not a man
And no matter what they say, me know she tried
[Verse 3]
Baby's packed her soft things and she's left me
She's left me, she's left me
And 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
[Verse 4]
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
Goodbye, baby
Written by: Doug Gilmore, Mickey Newbury
