(Don't Want to Have to Say) Goodbye Video (MV)

The confederates never reached Annville...
And so I'm walking down this old street facin' west
These days it's been somber... at its very best
People lookin' at me funny, I'm dressed up in my pa's old coat and vest
I'm headin' up to the graveyard to lay my baby to rest
And it's so selfish of me, but I can't seem to cry
I just don't want to have to say goodbye
Coming back down to Main Street, everyone's in the bar
But if I go in there, I won't be getting very far
I'll tip my hat and walk on, but I'll refuse to use a car
'Cause that's what done came and sent my baby up into the stars
And it's so selfish of me, but I can't seem to cry
I just don't want to have to say goodbye
Well now my baby's gone, gone up to join her mom
And my dear mama, she's just a pile of bones
And my pa's long gone, he died for the Union
Never even met him, just seen his name on a stone
I've got nothing now but the lonesome years ahead
Waiting for paradise from an old dusty bed
And I sure hope there's a place for me there, but I wish I were already dead
It's so selfish of me, but I can't stop the tears in my eyes
I just don't want to have to say goodbye
Yeah, it's so selfish of me, but I can't stop to cry
I just don't want to have to say goodbye...
