Out drinking with the boys
And playing cards all night,
I heard this little voice
Saying something's not right.
Asked the boys about it;
They said that's what men do.
I never did doubt it,
That what they said was true.
I came home to find
That handwritten note.
"Goodbye!" she had signed,
And that was all she wrote.
"Goodbye!" was underlined,
And that was all she wrote.
Got a nice apartment
Overlooking the mall.
The way my marriage went -
Might as well be a stall.
The boys still call me up
To play those games some more,
But, like my coffee cup,
I've been broken before ...
That time ...
I came home to find
That handwritten note.
"Goodbye!" she had signed,
And that was all she wrote.
"Goodbye!" was underlined,
And that was all she wrote.
You can go on with your life,
Grab a beer, cut the deck.
Don't think about your wife -
Friends are here, what the heck.
Yeah, you can party on
Till that certain party's gone.
You won't pay me any mind
Till you come home to find
That handwritten note.
"Goodbye!" she'll have signed,
And that'll be all she wrote.
"Goodbye!" 'll be underlined,
And that'll be all she wrote.
