I Can't Say Goodbye

Music and lyrics by Gene Eugene

I can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye
To my home

You told me yesterday
You said you could not stay
It seems like where you're goin'
Is half a world away

And I can't say goodbye
No, I can't say goodbye

I'm California grown
Guess I'm the last to roam
Soon I'll be sitting by these golden shores alone

Cause I can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye... to my home

You'll write me every week
As your babies grow and learn to speak
I'll always pray that Tennessee is good to you
You know I'd follow if I could

But I can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye... to my home

You've been my trusted friend
I'll love you 'till the end
And anything you need
On me you can depend

But I can't say goodbye
No I can't say goodbye
No I can't say goodbye... to my home
