Well, I'm out on the road and the devil's got my soul

And I'm looking for the Lord in New York City

Yeah, I'm out on the run, got some heat, got a gun

If they don't find me soon, it'll be a damn pity

So it's goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye

It's so hard to see the truth with the sun in your eyes

Oh, there's smoke in the air and there's blood everywhere

Lord, I'm hoping that the white man, well, he don't recognize me

I'm so sorry for what I've done and I say it not in fun

When I tell you that there's no one Lord, left here inside me

And it's goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye

So, it's goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
