Lyrics
[Intro]
Woo!
[Verse 1]
Boy, you sure look good there
Standin' in the doorway in the sunset light
Maybe I read you wrong
Thinkin' you could be my Mr. Right
I was puttin' my heart and soul on the line
Said you needed some time
Just a little more time to make up your mind
Well, it's been long enough
Time is up
[Chorus]
Bye-bye, love, I'll catch you later
Got a lead foot down on my accelerator
And the rearview mirror torn off
I ain't never lookin' back, and that's a fact
I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride
Bye-bye, bye-bye, my baby, bye-bye
[Verse 2]
Don't think all those tears are gonna hold me here
Like they've done before
You'll find what's left of us
In a cloud of dust on Highway 4
Baby, what did you expect me to do?
Just sit around and wait on you
Well, I'm through watchin' you just skate around the truth
And I know it sounds trite, I've seen the light
[Chorus]
Bye-bye, love, I'll catch you later
Got a lead foot down on my accelerator
And the rearview mirror torn off
'Cause I ain't never lookin' back, and that's a fact
I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride
Bye-bye, bye-bye, my baby, bye-bye
[Bridge]
I've lost the game, I guess
I did my best to win the part
Now, I'm leavin' here with what's left of my heart
[Chorus]
Bye-bye, I'll catch you later
Got a lead foot down on my accelerator
And the rearview mirror torn off
'Cause I ain't never lookin' back
You can count on that
I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride
Bye-bye, bye-bye, my baby, bye-bye, bye-bye
[Outro]
Bye-bye
Oh, baby
Oh
Bye-bye, bye-bye, my baby, bye-bye
