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
