She said she
Was headed over to see her mama
To try to clear her head she needed a little time
Said we could talk more about it later if you wanna
Walked out the door swore everything was gonna be alright
But it’s been four days and three nights of whiskey
And I ain’t heard a word from her and that’s what gets me
So tell me
How far
Does a goodbye go
Is it down to a corner bar
Or outta town in a getaway car
If it’s on a map this cowboy’s gotta know
Is it a couple miles away comin’ up the road or on a midnight train on a runaway track
How far does a goodbye go
Till it don’t come back
I might have been alright
If I’d seen her leavin’ comin’
Instead of sittin’ here striking up another front porch Marlboro Light
Is she big sky fast lane gone got the horses running
Looks like I’m on the wrong side of ridin’ off into the sunset this time
Tell me
How far
Does a goodbye go
Is it down to a corner bar
Or outta town in a getaway car
If it’s on a map this cowboy’s gotta know
Is it a couple miles away comin’ up the road or on a midnight train on a runaway track
How far does a goodbye go
Till it don’t come back
Till it don’t come back
It’s been four days and three nights of whiskey
And I ain’t heard a word from her and that’s what gets me
So tell me
How far
Does a goodbye go
Is it a couple miles away comin’ up the road or on a midnight train on a runaway track
How far does a goodbye go
Till it don’t come back
Till it don’t come back
