I'm Bringin' Home Good News - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

Yeah I’m bringin' home some good news

Got some things you’ll be glad to hear

Like I’m leavin' town and won’t be back

Around just long enough to get my gear

There won’t be any goodbye kisses

Well I’m puttin' on my leavin' shoes

This is the end we’re through it’s over yeah

I’m bringin' home some good news

Well I was sittin' downtown in a tavern

And I made up my mind to go

And I knew you would be so glad to be free

I just thought to call you to let you know

Oh you can tell all your backdoor daddys

That your big daddy’s done blew a fuse

This is the end we’re through it’s over yeah

I’m bringin' home some good news

To you I been known as bad news

Well I’m changin' my first name

And I’m givin' you your freedom baby

That old race won’t kinda change

Yeah go to hide your lookman slippers

I won’t be lookin' around for blues

This is the end we’re through it’s over

Yeah I’m bringin' home some good news

Good news there’s some good news for you honey

I’m bringin' home some good news

I’m bringin' home some good news honey
