[Verse]
D Bm A D
We met up at my place cut my folks were out of town
G D A
It was our last night together we were gonna make it count
D Bm A D
We were headed off to Auburn, Teas Tech, and Kansas State
G D A
Like a band of brothers breaking up with one more show to play
[Chorus]
G D
So we drank a case of shiner and all my daddy's Makers Mark
A
A G D
Pulled those speakers on the back porch sat around and smoked cigars
G D A G
Sang along and laughed till dawn and watched that red sun rise
Bm A G D
That was a damn good goodbye
[Verse]
D Bm A D
I was hurtin' that next morning but I had one thing left to do
G D A
Cuz the only girl I ever loved was bound for Baton Rouge
D Bm A D
We said we'd make it work but we both knew that was a lie
G D A
High school love ain't strong enough for a seven hour drive
[Chorus]
G D
So we parked out by the football field where we knew we'd be alone
A
A G D
Leaned them bucket seats way back and made love all night long
G D A G
Jumped the fence sat in the stands and watched that red sun rise
Bm A G D
That was a damn good goodbye
[Verse]
D Bm A D
They ain't ever easy and sometimes they go bad
G D A
Oh but sometimes they turn into the best times you ever had
D Bm A G
Nothing makes a memory that you'll take with you all your life
Bm A G D
Like a damn good goodbye
