Baby, go down to the drugstore buy me a guitar string
Be sure to wear your coat girl, 'cause it might rain
'Cause honey, you know
That rain is bad for my guitar strings

Put on your warm coat honey
It's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin'
My brand new goodbye song

Baby, I've tried your doctors
They just couldn't make me well
The higher I tried to climb the farther I fell
I guess it must have blew my mind
Sniffing the fumes of hell

Put on your warm coat honey
It's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin'
My brand new goodbye song

Baby, throw away my pillow
Just before you turn the light
All you'll have next to you now will be the night
I'll be somewhere wrong you'll be somewhere right

Put on your warm coat honey
It's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin'
My brand new goodbye song
