A Real Goodbye / Buy
Written by: Bill Hail / Dave Younger / Hank Grant


If you’ve got a good job and a few hundred bucks,
you can drive away today, in this pick-up truck.
She’s a real beauty, you can depend on her.

So I dug real deep and put my money down,
I showed that truck to everybody in town,
and everyone said, she was a real good buy.
CHORUS)
It was a real good deal, made my payments on time,
and it wasn’t very long, till that beauty was mine.
We fit together, she and I.
It was a real good deal, but not a real good buy.

Then I found a little house on the outskirts of town,
a nice little spot, just alittle run-down,
but she had potential, I could depend on her.
So with a little bit of time and a few thousand bucks,
I had a place to park my new pick-up truck.
And everybody said, it was a real good buy.
(Repeat Chorus)

I remember the day, she walked into my life,
I knew right away, she’d become my wife.
She was a real beauty, I could depend on her.

So I bought a ring, and my knee hit the ground,
I showed that gal to everybody in town,
and everyone said, she was a real good find

(2nd Chorus)
She was a real good find, true love is blind,
and it wasn’t very long, till that beauty was mine.
We really fit together, she and I,
Then I learned the meaning, of a real good-bye.

(Chorus)
It was a real good-bye, she took all my stuff,
the only thing she left was my pick-up truck.
Oh, I can’t forget her, no matter how I try,
oh she got a good deal, I got the real good-bye.
Yeah she taught me the meaning of a real good-bye
