[00:09.570]We met up at my place 'cause my folks were out of town
[00:15.640]It was our last night together, we were gonna make it count
[00:22.540]We were headed off to Auburn, Texas Tech, and Kansas State
[00:29.330]Like a band of brothers breakin' up with one more show to play
[00:36.140]
[00:37.420]So we drink a case of Shiner, and on my daddy's Maker's Mark
[00:44.450]Pulled them speakers on the back porch, sat around and smoked cigars
[00:51.550]We sang along and laughed 'til dawn and watched that red sunrise
[00:59.340]That was a damn good goodbye
[01:07.220]
[01:15.020]I was hurtin' that next mornin', but I had one thing left to do
[01:21.550]'Cause the only girl I'd ever loved was bound for Baton Rouge
[01:28.660]We said we'd make it work, but we both knew that was a lie
[01:35.520]High school love ain't strong enough for a seven hour drive
[01:42.300]
[01:43.580]So we parked out by the football field, where we knew we'd be alone
[01:50.800]Leaned them bucket seats way back, and made love all night long
[01:57.500]Jumped the fence, sat in the stands and watched that red sunrise
[02:05.290]That was a damn good goodbye
[02:12.750]
[02:28.180]They ain't ever easy, sometimes they go bad
[02:33.760]Oh but sometimes they turn into the best times you ever had
[02:41.650]Nothing makes a memory that you'll take with you all your life
[02:49.050]Like a damn good goodbye
[02:57.100]
