Intro 
 
F5
Tore out a page from my little black book 

Took out her picture, gave it once last look 

Hung a big sign out on the door 

Saying "love don't live around here no more" 
F5 
Packed up what was left of my pride 

Topped off the tank for the long hard ride 

Seventeen miles out of Lonelyville 

Yonder came a darlin' in a Coupe de Ville 
Bb7 
So long heartache, adios 
F5
Sorrow - see ya later 

Time to hit the road 
Bb7
Goodbye pain and misery 
F5      C     F5

I spun around and I hit the gas 

Hot on the tail of that Cadillac 

Said a little prayer - held my breath 

Sure enough that green light turned to red

So long heartache, adios

Time to hit the road
