Well, I'm bringing home some good news, got some things you'll be glad to hear.
Like I'm leaving town, I'll be back around, just long enough to get my gear.
There won't be any goodbye kissing while I'm putting on my leaving shoes.
This is the end we're through, it's over, yeah, I'm bringing home good news.
Well, I was sitting downtown in a tavern when I made up my mind to go.
And I knew you'd be so glad to be free, I just thought I'd call and let you know.
That you can tell all your backdoor daddies that your big daddy done blew a fuse.
This is the end we're through, it's over, yeah, I'm bringing home good news.
To you I've been known as Bad News, but I'm changing my first name.
And I'm giving you your freedom, baby, that ought to write some kind of change.
You won't have to hide your milkman slippers, I won't be looking around for clues.
This is the end we're through, it's over, yeah, I'm bringing home good news.
Good news, got some good news for you, honey.
I'm bringing home some good news.
I'm bringing home some good news, honey.
Don't be worried no more.
Ain't gonna be around to bother you.
