Goodbye Town

Right there's the high school where we met

We sneak out back for a couple of kisses and a cigarette

And that parking lot was our first date

And her mama slammed the door when I dropped her off too late

She's gone

Chasing that highway wind

She's gone

She ain't comin' back again

This ain't nothin'

Nothin' but a goodbye town

The streets are only bringin' me down

Gotta find a way to finally get out

Out of this goodbye town

We sat down on those courthouse steps

Fourth of July, those fireworks over our heads

And they'd ring the bells of that little church

No, there ain't nowhere I can look that doesn't hurt

She's gone

But I still feel her on my skin

She's gone

She ain't comin' back again

This ain't nothin'

Nothin' but a goodbye town

The streets are only bringin' me down

Gotta find a way to finally get out

Out of this goodbye town

I can't erase the memories

And I can't burn the whole place down

No, this ain't nothin'

Nothin' but a goodbye town

To hell if I'm stickin' around

Gotta find a way to finally get out

Out of this goodbye town

Oh yeah

Out of this goodbye town

I'm out of this town

So out of this town

You'll be just a memory

In the back of my mind

You'll be just a memory

Oh

Somewhere in the back of my mind

In the back of my mind

Yeah

Oh indeed, you're gonna look back at what we had

You're gonna think of me

You're gonna think of me

When I'm long gone

I'll be long gone
