Damn Good Goodbye

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 Arbor, Texas Tech, and Kansas state
 Like a band of brothers breaking up
 With one more show to play
 So we drink a case of shiner
 And all my daddy's maker's mark
 Pull 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 damn good goodbye
 ♪
 I was hurtin' that next morning
 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
 So we parked out by the football field
 Where we knew we'd be alone
 Lean them bucket seats way back
 We made love all night long
 Jumped the fence sat in the stands
 And watched that red sunrise
 That was a damn good goodbye
 ♪
 They ain't ever easy
 And 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 damn good goodbye
