(Chips Moman - Steve Young)

Baby, go down to the drugstore buy me a guitar string
Be sure to wear your coat girl 'cause it might rain
'Cause honey, you know that rain is bad for my guitar strings
Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song.

Baby, I've tried your doctors, they just couldn't make me well
The higher I tried to climb the farther I fell
I guess it must have blew my mind sniffing the fumes of hell
Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song.

--- Instrumental ---

Baby, throw away my pillow just before you turn the light
All you'll have next to you now will be the night
I'll be somewhere wrong you'll be somewhere right
Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song.
