Goodbye John Songtext
von Chi Coltrane

Are you afraid of me, baby?
A little girl like me, baby?
Why can′t you talk straight and tell the truth?
Can't you take some sorrow
If I′ll be gone tomorrow?
You lie to me about what's been goin' down
I′m westward bound
I′m westward bound

I'm walkin′ down the road
With the sunshine on my hair
Life is really something
I can feel it everywhere
And I guess it's been some time
Since I got high on breathin′ air
Without a care
Without a care


I don't know where I′m goin'
I'm just headin′ towards the sun
I feel so good, it seems as if
My life has just begun
And I don′t know why I took so long
To do what must be done
It's goodbye, Don
Oh yeah, goodbye, Don

Well, I guess that I′ve been hurt
And I'm makin′ out okay
And though I feel a little wiser
For the price I had to pay
And I never really cared
For obligations anyway
Farewell, my babe
Oh, farewell, my babe

Well, is it too much
To ask someone
To lay off, honestly?
Or is it like a friend
To lie to you
As if you cannot see?
Well, now, that's not my idea
Of what love should really be
I′m glad I'm free
Oh, yes, I'm so glad I′m free


I′m so glad I'm free
Oh, Lord knows, I′m so glad I'm free
I still have me
And I′m so glad I'm free
Yes, I still have me
Lord, I′m so glad I'm free
