Lyrics:
A hundred miles and back again
Down the road to Galveston
We traveled in the spring
Cut across the Texas night
Back to Houston's city light
I remember everything
You lit my cigarette
You told me I'd be fine
We hadn't said it yet
The last goodbye
The last goodbye
Baby the last goodbye
The last goodbye
I headed south and tried my best
I got back, you headed west
Left me in our empty house
I got the call out from L.A.
There was nothing that you could say
You had to 'figure this out'
So I took down your picture
And I took back my bed
And I started to believe in all them things
I should have said
Like the last goodbye ...
Well, I watched you pull away
You pushed me to the wall
I tied up my boots and I waited for the fall
But when it came it was nothing at all ...
When you finally made it back
Your bags were packed
Sitting just inside my doorway
When I asked you for my key
You gave it back to me
And there was nothing left to say
I lit my cigarette
I told you you'd be fine
And I never will regret
Our last goodbye ...
A hundred miles and back again
Down the road to Galveston
We traveled in the spring
Cut across the Texas night
Back to Houston's city light
I remember everything
You lit my cigarette
You told me I'd be fine
We hadn't said it yet
The last goodbye
The last goodbye
Baby the last goodbye
The last goodbye
I headed south and tried my best
I got back, you headed west
Left me in our empty house
I got the call out from L.A.
There was nothing that you could say
You had to 'figure this out'
So I took down your picture
And I took back my bed
And I started to believe in all them things
I should have said
Like the last goodbye ...
Well, I watched you pull away
You pushed me to the wall
I tied up my boots and I waited for the fall
But when it came it was nothing at all ...
When you finally made it back
Your bags were packed
Sitting just inside my doorway
When I asked you for my key
You gave it back to me
And there was nothing left to say
I lit my cigarette
I told you you'd be fine
And I never will regret
Our last goodbye ...
