(Gail Davies — Janis Gill)
I’m packing bags, making plans to leave, oh Lord, that plane won’t wait
Life on the road isn’t easy for me, you know I’d love to stay
Don’t wanna leave, I wanna hold you tight, seems like I never win
‘Cause all we ever do is say goodbye, so long I’m gone again.
Feel like I’m runnin’ but I don’t know where another lonely town
You know I’ll call you when I get down there, soon I’ll be homeward bound
I thought I held you in a dream last night, oh, I was wrong again
‘Cause all we ever do is say goodbye, so long I’m gone again.
Don’t wanna spend another night alone
Or stay gone for too long
I know you’ll be there when I get back home
And it keeps me hanging on.
I say a prayer when the night is through, just one more lonely day
I tell the baby, mama’s missin’ you, I don’t know what else to say
You say you love me and I start to cry over the phone again
‘Cause all we ever do is say goodbye, so long I’m gone again.

I’m packing bags, making plans to leave, oh Lord, that plane won’t wait
Life on the road isn’t easy for me, you know I’d love to stay
So long, I’m gone again, so long I’m gone again, so long I’m gone again…
