Originally called The Breakup Song, I changed it when I remembered Greg Kihn's hit tune from the 80's. Then someone informed me that George Strait has a song called Adios and Vaya Con Dios. Well, tough shit, George. I'm sticking with this.
We’ve been going steady since the night my cousin Eddie
Introduced us at the Golden Gate
You seemed to like it rough and I couldn’t get enough
Of the way you always made me clean my plate
But lately I’ve been thinking all your smoking and your drinking
Is going to send you to an early grave
I know if I stuck around I would join you in the ground
I’m the one whose life I need to save
Chorus
So adios and vaya con dios
Our history is ending tonight
You tell me that I’ll never find another girl like you
Honey, I just pray to God you’re right
Your whips and your devices made loving you a crisis
There’s just no way that I could keep it up
No more can I handle being beaten with your sandal
While wearing just a jockstrap and a cup
So gather your belongings ‘cause I’m righting all your wrongings
Don’t let the screen door hit you in the ass
Did I hear you say let’s have a last roll in the hay
Girl, I think I’m gonna have to pass
Chorus
So adios and vaya con dios
Our history is ending tonight
You tell me that I’ll never find another girl like you
Honey, I just pray to God you’re right
