"I Just Called To Say Goodbye" Lyrics

(Julie Adkison/Connie Harrington)

Boy, I didn't mean to wake you.
I'm ok, yeah everything's all right.
I'm in a phone booth outside of Denver,
I drove all night.

Well, I would've called you sooner,
But I knew you'd talk me out of this.
I've had a lot of miles to do some thinkin',
Now it all-makes perfect sense.

No I haven't changed my mind,
I just called to say goodbye.

You should see this mountain sunrise,
It looks just the way I dreamed.
I got my map of Colorado in the seat right next to me.
If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth,
It's better left behind.
I just called to say goodbye.

Boy, you know I'm gonna miss you,
But we both know it's for the best.
We just can't keep usin' each other,
As a safety net.

I bet someday your gonna thank me.
When you finally get a taste of true love.
Baby, what we had was pretty good,
Just not enough.

So here's to tears we'll never cry,
I just called to say goodbye.

You should see this mountain sunrise,
It looks just the way I dreamed.
I got my map of Colorado in the seat right next to me.
If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth,
It's better left behind.
I just called to say goodbye.

If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth,
It's better left behind.
I just called to say goodbye.

I just called to say goodbye...
