Sixteen miles away, and I'm chasing every exit
I know I left you lonesome, broke, and high
Every night and day, I've been searching for new direction,
But I'm starting to believe the well is dry

'Cause maybe I can't say, but I've come to miss you lately
Maybe it's not right for me to try
Something about your way that still haunts me in my reverie
At least I understand the reason why

Goodbye to rum and roses
Goodbye to rum and roses
Goodbye to rum and roses
Goodbye to rum and roses

Sixteen hours a day, and I've dreaded every moment
Even Joe from Oak Street won't say "hi"
And I can hear your sigh from the reaches of my memory
Now I'm left to cruise the countrywide

Goodbye to rum and roses
Goodbye to rum and roses
Goodbye to rum and roses
Goodbye to rum and roses

The least that I can do is to keep the wheel steady
Leave it to the engine to decide
Trading pine for palm past my neighbors down on Sun Street,
And hoping my new friends enjoy the ride

'Cause after yesterday, I can't help but think it's crazy
Maybe there's no need to say goodbye
Say the words,
I'll turn around, and sail the midnight freeway
'Til I see you waiting on the other side
