Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Goin' Away Party

I'm throwin' a goin' away party

A party for a dream of mine

So put me somewhere off in a corner

With a glass and bottle of your party wine

Don't worry it won't be a loud party

I feel too low to get too high

It's just a sad goin' away party

For a dream I'm telling goodbye

I'm throwin' a goin' away party

A party for a dream of mine

Nobody's coming but a heartache

And some tears will drop in now most anytime

Don't worry it won't be a loud party

Dreams don't make noise when they die

And so since it's a goin' away party

Go away and let me cry

Hey, it's just a sad goin' away party

For a dream I'm tellin' goodbye, goodbye
