Right there's the high school where we met We'd sneak out back for a couple kisses and a cigarette And that parking lot was our first date And her momma slammed the door when I dropped her off too late She's gone Chasing that highway wind She's gone She ain't coming back again This ain't nothing Nothing but a goodbye town These streets are only bringing 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 But she ain't coming back again This ain't nothing Nothing but a goodbye town These streets are only bringing 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 nothing Nothing but a goodbye town To hell if I'm sticking 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 Oh oh oh oh oh You'll be just a memory in the back of my mind You'll be just a memory yeah Oh, somewhere in the back of my mind In the back of my mind, yeah One day 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
