Damn Good Goodbye

Verse We met up at my place cut my folks were out of town It was our last night together we were gonna make it count We were headed off to Auburn, Teas Tech, and Kansas State Like a band of brothers breaking up with one more show to play So we drank a case of shiner and all my daddy's Makers Mark Pulled those speakers on the back porch sat around and smoked cigars Sang along and laughed till dawn and watched that red sun rise That was a damn good goodbye Verse I was hurtin' that next morning but I had one thing left to do Cuz the only girl I ever loved was bound for Baton Rouge We said we'd make it work but we both knew that was a lie High school love ain't strong enough for a seven hour drive So we parked out by the football field where we knew we'd be alone Leaned them bucket seats way back and made love all night long Jumped the fence sat in the stands and watched that red sun rise That was a damn good goodbye Verse They ain't ever easy and sometimes they go bad Oh but sometimes they turn into the best times you ever had Nothing makes a memory that you'll take with you all your life Like a damn good goodbye
