Warm wind blows through the streets of this old town
Wrap you up just tight enough to keep you coming round
Memories and pictures flash around this old scene
Fade off in flicker of times that have been
So goodbye my darling, goodbye my old friend
I don't mean to be the sentimental kind
Saddled up this big oar and took it for a spin
It's been a damn good ride
It's been a damn good ride
It's been a damn good ride
Crack that window every time I dry that bread
Let those recollects come flooding in
Cause life is life and time ain't wrong
Those days are gone, boy those days are gone
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my old friend
I don't mean to be the sentimental kind
Saddled up this big oar and took it for a spin
It's been a damn good ride
It's been a damn good ride
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my old friend

Fat broke, crackin' jokes
Cares and worries goin' up in smoke
Sittin' around this old house
Still as a rockin', quiet as a mouse
Good old days gone away
Hope and pray that heaven
Heaven
This is real, it's real, it's real
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my old friend
I don't mean to hurt you, I don't mean to hurt you
I don't mean to be the sentimental kind
You said I loved this big old world and took it for a spin
It's been a damn good ride
It's been a damn good ride
It's been a damn good ride
It's been a damn good ride
It's been a damn good ride
