i can feel your goodbye comin'
like a storm up from the south
the rain'll splatter at the back door
the wind'll whistle 'round the house
so it's you and howie johnston
somebody told me at the store
i guess i'd better get used
to the idea of you
not around anymore
[chorus]
and so, i'm doin' my best to prepare for the worst
and i'd better get use to the hunger and thirst
i gotta find me a potion
to take for the pain
and all you've got to lose
is my last name
i know he's cute and he's got money
i ain't no handsome fancy dan
in a way it's sad and kinda funny
you'll be ok and i'll be damned
so i best be gettin' ready
for the bitter nights alone
sleepin' on the couch
wake up starting out
livin' life on my own
[repeat chorus]
yeah, all you've got to lose is my last name |
