C
Yeah, I'm bringin' home some good news
C
Got some things you'll be glad to hear
C
Like I'm leavin' town and won't be back around
C
Just long enough to get my gear.
Chorus 1:
F
There won't be any goodbye kisses
F C
Well, I'm puttin' on my leavin' shoes
G
This is the end, we're through, it's over
F C
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
Chorus 2:
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 oughta rate some kinda change
Chorus 3:
You won't have to hide your milkman slippers
I won't be lookin' around for clues
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...
