Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Kissing You Goodbye

I've learned to turn the other cheek

Is not what love's about

I've turned mine so many times

That I damned near wore 'em out

I've grown used to your abuse

And I thought I'd never quit

But I woke up this morning

Couldn't find my shiv-a-git

You've always liked to play your games

Well, I got one for you

Pretend we're playing checkers, girl

And it's your time to move

You'll find your suitcase on the porch

And the taxi in the drive

So get your tongue out of my mouth

I'm kissing you goodbye

I see you've finally made it home

You been out all night

Your artificial hair's a mess

And your clothes don't fit you right

I've given and forgiven

Till there ain't nothing left

But all you gave was just enough

To satisfy yourself

I can smell that whiskey in your hair

And Sen-Sen on your breath

If you ever tried to tell the truth

You'd choke yourself to death

I don't want your nasty kisses

And don't tell me no more lies

Get your tongue out of my mouth

I'm kissing you goodbye

Get your tongue out of my mouth

I'm kissing you goodbye
