Goodbye Chattanooga

Every word is meaningless as we tassel with this fight
I just don’t have the patience to continue with this talk tonight
We’re trying to find the reason why you made
With the man with the foot in the grave
With the kind of work that he’s in there doesn’t seem to be
Too much room to save things, save things

So goodbye Chattanooga and the coroner’s wife
Goodbye to the rest of your life
You know the body’s just a messenger for the good things inside
Goodbye to the rest of your life, yeah

She revels in the good day they found a millionaire on the bathroom floor
She says she thinks it’s a suicide as she hustles the children out the door
Life is so prestigious even here in Tennessee
And I’m just staring blankly wondering
What that’s supposed to mean to me, to mean to me

So goodbye Chattanooga and the coroner’s wife
Goodbye to the rest of your life
The body’s just a messenger for the good things inside
Goodbye to the rest of your life

I guess she’s beautiful but is she right
I know my conscious just won’t let me keep this thing alive
I know she’s beautiful but is she right
I bet my conscious just won’t let me keep this thing alive

She says she has no insight, she says I am lacking depth
I say look at who you’re married to
She says look at who you’re sleeping with
Well I have no comeback, I’m just wondering why
I’m waiting for somebody who is just
Waiting for someone else to die, someone else

So goodbye Chattanooga and the coroner’s wife
Goodbye to the rest of your life
You know, the body’s just a messenger for the good things inside
Goodbye to the rest of your life

Goodbye Chattanooga
For the rest of your life
For the rest of your life…
