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 out of town in a getaway car?
If it's on the map, this
cowboy's gotta know Is it a couple miles away,
coming up the road
Or on a midnight train on a runaway track?
How far does a goodbye go till it don't come back?
It might have been alright if I'd seen her leaving,
coming
Instead of sitting here striking up another front porch barber,
right?
Is she big,
sky-fast,
blank,
gone,
got the horses running?
Looks like I'm on the wrong side of
riding off into the sunset this time
Tell me, how far does a goodbye go?
Is it down to a corner bar,
or out of town in a getaway car?
If it's on the map, this cowboy's gotta know
Is it a couple miles away,
coming 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 But
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,
coming 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
