Irish Goodbyes

Ok fine I said hi
But I did not say goodbye
What do you want
That’s my style

Don’t be sad
I’ll be mad
I get drunk so quick it’s bad
I’m flattered you missed me
But thanks for the whisky

They call them Irish Goodbyes
There’s no taking time
No standing in line
We just head to the back and we fly
When they realize
It’s late in the night
Their asking oh why did he leave
What do you want
That’s my style
Why don’t you stay for a while

There’s nothing so sexy
As a man who disappears
After eating his fill
And drinking lots of beer
He shows up like the wind
In the middle of the night
And everybody’s happy
When he does not start a fight

They call them Irish Goodbyes
There’s no taking time
No standing in line
We just head to the back and we fly
When they realize
It’s late in the night
Their asking oh why did he leave
What do you want
That’s my style
Why don’t you stay for a while

What goes through your mind
When you leave with no goodbye
So many random people
That I don’t even like
There’s Tommy
There’s Taryn
I’ll wink and I’ll give a nudge
They’re dear friends of mine since youth
They will not hold a grudge

They call them Irish Goodbyes
There’s no taking time
No standing in line
We just head to the back and we fly
When they realize
It’s late in the night
Their asking oh why did he leave
What do you want
That’s my style
Why don’t you stay for a while
Irish Goodbyes
Why don’t you stay for a while
They call them Irish Goodbyes
Why don’t you stay for a while
They call them Irish Goodbyes
Why don’t you stay for a while
They call them Irish Goodbyes
