I travel around this country, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Seems like I’ve been everywhere
I’ve been a lot of places and seen so many faces
But always wishing that you were there

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, oh
But there’s still a thousand stories that you have never heard
Please tell me darlin’, are you still true
All these times I go away from you?

When it comes time for leaving, will you be greaving
Will you even wonder where I’m at
I got a feelin’, your love someone will be stealin’
And you’ll belong to them when I get back, oh

You know that you mean the world to me
But I got good bait and there’s a lot of fish in that sea
You’ll be the one to sit alone a cry when I say
Farewell, c’est la vie, so long honey bee, goodbye
