Yesterday, when I was almost home There were people standing right outside my door And my lady was lying on the floor, on the floor Yeah, not a single word had come out of my mouth I just stepped outside and I headed south Me and my old shoes and this old fashioned blues That I sent for you I turned my back and I walked into the night No looking back to whatever I left behind I didn't wave goodbye, I didn't even wave goodbye I turned my back and I walked a million miles Under the burning sun and the blinding light I didn't wave goodbye, I didn't even wave goodbye I grabbed my stuff, it was really tough I slipped out and didn't even close the door Nothing left to close the door for Yeah, not a single word had come out of my mouth I just stepped outside and I headed south Me and my old shoes and this old fashioned blues That I sent for you I turned my back and I walked into the night No looking back to whatever I left behind I didn't wave goodbye, I didn't even wave goodbye I turned my back and I walked a million miles Under the burning sun and the blinding light I didn't wave goodbye, I didn't even wave goodbye
