You’re Not Gonna Make Us Lonesome When You Go

It’s time now to show you the door
It’s never been like this before
You’ve never been quite so slow to go
You tried to keep us in the dark so long
But we know what’s right from wrong
You’re not gonna make us lonesome when you go

We won’t see you in the sky above
When repossessed that jet you love
You’re bound to end your time far below
You’ve never ever been correct
Like a weight around all our necks
You’re not gonna make us lonesome when you go

Thinning hair across your face
When you turn in sad disgrace
And try to wave like you don’t even know
Can’t remember what we were thinkin’ of
You never showed us any love
You’re not gonna make us lonesome when you go

We didn’t realize you were so bloomin’ crazy
Critics talkin’ about you and your lyin’
We didn’t know you were so slow and lazy
You could leave us now forever
And we’d all have a better time

I am an old man who loves to write - to entertain, to produce a chuckle, and occasionally make a point I think is worth making - and sometimes all three!
