my lipstick 
jumped ship 
to a styrofoam cup 
with the coffee gone 
the conversation strong 
all I got left to give 
baby, is up 
but sentiments like shadows grow 
oh so long 
 
guess I gotta go 
don't get up 
don't cry 
it's really very simple 
just kiss my cheek and say goodbye 
I never really go anywhere anyway 
I just pass through from time to time 
 
bye bye baby 
baby bye bye 
maybe I'll see you 
next time I'm in town 
maybe when I'm through 
falling off the face of the earth 
I'll come back around 
you know I love to come back around 
 
ten hours of driving 
will make your mind 
kind of numb 
but it's better than 
ten dollars an hour 
slamming a hammer on my thumb 
and it's better than 
five dollars an hour 
selling people shit 
I wouldn't buy myself 
at least at the end of the day 
I'm always somewhere else 
 
bye bye baby 
baby bye bye 
maybe I'll see you 
next time I'm in town 
maybe when I'm through 
falling off the face of the earth 
I'll come back around 
you know I love to come back around
