Steve Earle(born January 17, 1955) is a singer-songwriterbest known for his countrymusic and rock 'n roll tinged " alt-country." He is also a published writer, a keen political activist (particularly in protesting against the death penalty in the U.S., as in his song "Ellis Unit One" from the movie Dead Man Walking), and has written and directed a play. Born in Hampton, Virginia, legend has it that a box of Texas dirt, sent by his grandfather, was brought into the delivery room, so that it could be said that the first soil Earle's feet ever touched was Texan. He moved around the U.S. with his parents, before dropping out of school in the 8th grade and heading to Houston, Texas, to explore a career in music. In 1975, he moved to Nashville and worked as a songwriter.

Goodbye's All We've Got Left Lyrics
Steve Earle
I could tell it when i woke up this mornin'
'cause i can smell it when a heartache's comin'
Not that i'm in such a hurry to lose you
I'd call you up but there's nothin' that i can do
Talkin' won't do any good anyway
'cause goodbye's all we've got left to say
I don't think that it'll get any better
So maybe you could just write me a letter
And i could open it up when i'm stronger
Another ten or twelve years, maybe longer
Guess i just don't feel much like bad news today
Goodbye's all we've got left to say
Don't try to call me 'cause i'm takin' my phone out
'cause if it rings, i'll know what it's about
And don't you worry 'bout me 'cause i'm alright
Maybe you'll run into me somewhere, some night
And if you do just keep goin' your way
Goodbye's all we've got left to say
