Our First Goodbye (Live)

Mama met a man, in Birmingham

They spent the night together

She was young, and he was drunk

And he promised her forever

After fakin’ love, he slipped off in the night

And before you know, she was starting to show

And headed off to prison

Got locked up, for sellin' drugs

Just tryin to make a livin’

6 months later December 89

Our first hello was our first goodbye

And I can’t help but wonder, exactly how she felt

Handin’ off her brand new baby boy to someone else

With her tears on her kiss, she showed me, what love is

And that’s why

Our first hello was our first goodbye

Little does she know, I found a home

Just north of Cincinnati

With a mom and dad 

Who loved me as they were the ones that had me

They gave me everything I need in life

So I hope she knows what she did was right

And I can’t help but wonder, exactly how she felt

Handin’ off her brand new baby boy to someone else

With her tears on her kiss, she showed me, what love is

And that’s why

Our first hello was our first goodbye

She’s out there thinking bout me now and then

I hope there comes a day, when we can meet again

And I can’t help but wonder, exactly how she felt

Handin’ off her brand new baby boy to someone else

With her tears on her kiss, she showed me, what love is

And that’s why

Our first hello was our first goodbye
