Goodbye Town

1. Right there's the highschool 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, and she ain't coming back again.

[Chorus:]
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.

2. 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, and she ain't coming back again.

[Chorus]

* I can't erase the memories
And I can't burn the whole place down.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Coda:]
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.

Oh one day you're gonna look back on what we had
You're gonna think of me
You're gonna think of me
When I'm long gone
I mean long gone.
