I Love You Goodbye Lyrics

I would never normally go bowling On a Friday morning in New Orleans But I like to come here to remember The kind of places you took me
Like the time we stole a Datsun And drove all night to the Everglades Until we crashed it in a big electric storm And stood there listening to the bayou rain
The county Sheriff had a hair-lip Louisiana's pride and joy But he said politely as he cuffed me "I never busted an English boy"
"But I will accept a contribution To the Opelousas' Charity Ball But you better drive this dirty Datsun Into the Gulf of Mexico"
Under a Cajun moon I lay me open There is a spirit here that won't be broken Some words are sad to sing, some leave me tongue-tied (But the hardest thing to tell you ) But the hardest words I know are I love you goodbye I love you goodbye
Typhoon Pierre delayed my plane till morning (Jusqu'au matin) Let the bontemps rouler from your accordion (L'accordien) Under a Cajun moon I lay me open (Y a un esprit partout)
There is a spirit here that won't be broken (Simple words are sad to sing) Some words are sad to sing (They leave me tongue-tied) Some leave you tongue-tied (But the hardest thing to tell you my friend)
But the hardest words I know (Is I love you goodbye) Are I love you goodbye (Je t'aime, au revoir) I love you goodbye (Je t'aime, toujours) I love you, goodbye I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you goodbye
