About This Song


This is a liberation song that I recorded both a male and female version of to increase pitch ops. This is the male version with Tim Buppert doing vocals.

Marvin > Great topic that needs to be addressed.
Fine imagery. Great vocalist. Also like the little drum hook in the middle of the chorus. Nice work.  Brian.

From the amount of views you can tell it’s a great title. “Smelled of Motel love” = nice lyric!. Overall good song and concept. Best of luck with it!

1-800-Goodbye (male vocal)

Written by Marvin Adcock

Oh what a shame to see the way he treated her
She nearly lost her mind tryin’ to keep her faith
She got tired of fearin’ him, and so tired of givin’ in
And everyday she stayed she knew was a mistake

So she packed light for a one-way ride on a Greyhound
Looked around the house and sighed one last time
There was nothin' much left to say, she knew he wouldn’t listen anyway
So she left a message by the phone with just one line

She broke the spell that she’d been under
Found her wings and she was gonna fly
The note said I’ve got your number and underlined here’s mine
You can reach me at 1-800-Goodbye

He was primed to fight that night when he hit the doorway
Smelled of motel love and whiskey on his breath
Yelled her name and slammed the door, but he can’t hurt her anymore
She was miles away when he read the note she’d left

She broke the spell that she’d been under
Found her wings and she was gonna fly
The note said I’ve got your number and underlined here’s mine
You can reach me at 1-800-Goodbye

She had no place to go, but off of that dead-end road
She was lookin’ for a place where she could heal
The scars on her heart, cause he’d gone too far
She prayed he’d change but he never will

She broke the spell that she’d been under
Found her wings and she was gonna fly
The note said I’ve got your number and underlined here’s mine
You can reach me at 1-800-Goodbye

The note said I’ve got your number and underlined here’s mine
You can reach me at 1-800-Goodbye
