Goodbye (Tribute to New York911) Lyrics
He Leaves home just like every morning
Saying goodbye to his son
A kiss on the cheek to the woman he loves
And its off to work for another day
Traffic jam outside the city
Leaves him anxious once again
He parks his car and rushes up the stairs
Puts his breifcase down and sits in his chair
Overlooking the town he calls home
And everyone is unaware
Then up from the frame of the picture on his desk
Of the family he loves
Uneasiness fills his chest
So he calls his wife just to tell her this:
Don't wait up for me tonight
Cuz I won't be coming home
And everything's gonna be alright
I just wanted you to know
I had to call you one last time
Just to rest your mind
Don't wait up for me tonight
Cuz I won't be coming home
And everythings gonna be alright
I just wanted you to know
Lets go out
People shout
People crying
Me, I'm trying
Mothers cry
Fathers die
And me, I'm still holding on
To you
To you
Lets go out
People shout
People crying
Me, I'm trying
Mothers cry
Fathers die
And me, I'm still holding on
To you
A few more words and I'm going to go
I can see the end from here
I love you I just wanted to say
Those three words to you today
Saying goodbye to his son
A kiss on the cheek to the woman he loves
And its off to work for another day
Traffic jam outside the city
Leaves him anxious once again
He parks his car and rushes up the stairs
Puts his breifcase down and sits in his chair
Overlooking the town he calls home
And everyone is unaware
Then up from the frame of the picture on his desk
Of the family he loves
Uneasiness fills his chest
So he calls his wife just to tell her this:
Cuz I won't be coming home
And everything's gonna be alright
I just wanted you to know
Just to rest your mind
Cuz I won't be coming home
And everythings gonna be alright
I just wanted you to know
People shout
People crying
Me, I'm trying
Mothers cry
Fathers die
And me, I'm still holding on
To you
To you
People shout
People crying
Me, I'm trying
Mothers cry
Fathers die
And me, I'm still holding on
To you
I can see the end from here
I love you I just wanted to say
Those three words to you today

The song may be writen by JM, but the person singing it is Matt Ryczek. I have not found a version sung by JM.
wow. thats all i can say.
amazing, amazing song.
where can i find the tabs?
this song made me cry i downloaded it and it didnt sound like john mayer? can someone tell me where i can get it> -thanks!
To be completely honest, I don't really think this is even a John Mayer song. . . I just went to listen to it on YouTube, and I really don't think it's him.. . amazing song though who ever wrote it.
First time I heard this song, I didn't think it was John either, but it is. He did write this song and sings it, too. He actually sang it along with someone else, (I can't remember with whom at the moment), in NYC as a tribute. It IS an amazing song. Leaves you speechless.
Matt Ryczek. Not John.
