[Verse 1]
It rained all spring, we lost heifers in the flood
June, July, and August, they were hotter'n Satan's blood
Early September frost crippled crops this year
I think it's safe to say that the holidays won't be happy here

[Chorus]
We're just waiting on a good day to say goodbye
We've tried and tried but we can't recall a stint of tougher times
We had a few good years
Then it got so sad 'round here
We'll have to cheer up to cry
So we're waiting on a good day to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
We don't hate each other
Nah, it'd never get that far
We know we're both to blame for our half-hearted broken hearts
January's just so bitter
Oh, March'll be much better
The grass is gonna get green again, until then we'll stick together

[Chorus]
Just waiting on a good day to say goodbye
We've tried and tried but we can't recall a stint of tougher times
We had a few good years
Then it got so sad 'round here
We'll have to cheer up to cry
So we're waiting on a good day
[Bridge]
'Cause she's not her, I'm not me
'Til we're ourselves, we'll drag our feet
And when the sun finally shines
She might be in love with the man she finds

[Chorus]
Just waiting on a good day to say goodbye
We've tried and tried but we can't recall tougher times
We had a few good years
Then it got so sad 'round here
We'll have to cheer up to cry
So we're waiting on a good day to say
I knew we'd make it through that rough patch together, babe
We're just waiting on, waiting on a good good day
