Merle Haggard Lyrics
"Goin' Away Party"

I'm throwin' a goin' away party
A party for a friend 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.

--- Instrumental ---

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 anythime.

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 telling goodbye, goodbye...
