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.

CHORUS:

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.

CHORUS:

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.
