Bye Bye Lyrics

Boy you sure look good there standin'
In the doorway in the sunset light
Maybe I read you wrong thinkin'
You could be my Mr. Right

I was puttin' my heart and soul on the line
Said you needed some time
Just a little more time to make up your mind
Well, it's been long enough, time is up

Bye bye love, I'll catch you later
Got a left foot down on my accelerator
And the rearview mirror torn off
I ain't never lookin' back and that's a fact

I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride
Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

Don't think all those tears are gonna hold me here
Like they've done before
You'll find what's left of us
In a cloud of dust on Highway 4

Baby, what did you expect me to do
Just sit around and wait on you
Well, I'm through watchin' you just skate around the truth
And I know it sounds tight, I've seen the light

Bye bye love, I'll catch you later
Got a left foot down on my accelerator
And the rearview mirror torn off
'Cause I ain't never lookin' back and that's a fact

I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride
Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

I'd lost the game I guess
I did my best to win the part
Now I'm leavin' here with
What's left of my heart

Bye bye, I'll catch you later
Got a left foot down on my accelerator
And the rearview mirror torn off
'Cause I ain't never lookin' back, you can count on that

I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride
Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

Bye bye, oh baby, oh oh
Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

Jo Dee Marie Messina (born August 25, 1970 in Framingham, Massachusetts), known professionally as Jo Dee Messina, is an American country music artist. In her career charted six Number One singles on the Billboard country music charts. She has been honored by the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music and nominated for a Grammy Award. She was the first female country artist to score three multiple-week Number One songs from the same album. To date, she has two Platinum and three Gold-certified albums by the RIAA.

Messina debuted in 1996 with the single "Heads Carolina, Tails California". Her album was certifified Gold by the RIAA. Her second album, I'm Alright produced five Top 10 Country hits between 1998 in 1999 and sold over a million copies in America. Since her debut, six of her singles have peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country singles chart and five of her albums have received a certification by the RIAA or the CRIA.

She was raised in Holliston, Massachusetts, by Vincent and Mary Messina, and had two sisters, Terese and Marianne, as well as a brother named Vincent. Messina had a variety of Country music influences, which included Patsy Cline, Reba McEntire, and The Judds. She soon started performing live, and by age 16 she was playing local clubs with a rhythm section made up of her brother and sister. The family band played up until Messina was in her late teens.

Realizing that living in the Northeast would limit her chances of achieving Country music stardom, Messina moved to Nashville at age 19. To support herself, Messina worked various temp jobs, including computer programming and accounting. In her spare time, she entered talent contests around Nashville.

One win led to a regular gig on the radio show Live at Libby's, which in turn caught the interest of producer Byron Gallimore, who helped her assemble a demo tape. Gallimore was also working with the young Tim McGraw around the same time, and Messina befriended him. Backstage at one of his concerts, Messina met an executive from his label, Curb, and jokingly suggested that they needed a redhead. With the help of fellow Curb producer James Stroud, Messina was then signed to the record label. Gallimore and McGraw would later become co-producers of Messina's studio albums under Curb.
