(Earl Montgonery - Charlene Montgomery - George Jones)

No she not gone forever she's just playing one of her games
And tonight when I get home everything will be the same
'Cause when I woke up this morning yes I found her goodbye note
It's just a game she's plays it's just a goodbye joke.

She's just goin' downtown shopping she'll bring me back some sporty clothes
'Cause I'm always on her mind no matter where she plans to go
If I thought she was gone forever Lord I'd find me a hangin' rope
That's why I'm breaking now it's just a goodbye joke.

Ain't it funny the sense of humor a woman can have sometimes
Especially that lovely woman of mine
Hey, bartender won't you bring me a drink cause I feel like I might choke
On the words she wrote in her little goodbye joke...
