mike ryan – damn good goodbye lyrics
[verse 1]
we met up at my place ’cause my folks were out of town
it was our last night together, we were gonna make it count
we were headed off to auburn, texas tech, and kansas state
like a band of brothers breakin’ up with one more show to play
[chorus]
so we drink a case of shiner, and all my daddy’s maker’s mark
pulled them speakers on the back porch, sat around and smoked cigars
we sang along and laughed ’til dawn and watched that red sunrise
that was a d-mn good goodbye
[verse 2]
i was hurtin’ that next mornin’, but i had one thing left to do
’cause the only girl i’d ever loved was bound for baton rouge
we said we’d make it work, but we both knew that was a lie
high school love ain’t strong enough for a seven hour drive
[chorus 2]
so we parked out by the football field, where we knew we’d be alone
leaned them bucket seats way back, and made love all night long
jumped the fence, sat in the stands and watched that red sunrise
that was a d-mn good goodbye
[verse 3]
they ain’t ever easy, sometimes they go bad
oh but sometimes they turn into the best times you ever had
nothing makes a memory that you’ll take with you all your life
like a d-mn good goodbye
