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 outta town in a getaway car
If it's on a map
This cowboy's gotta know
Is it a couple miles away
comin' up the road
Or on a midnight train
on a runaway track
How far does a goodbye go
'til it don't come back
I might've been alright if
I'd seen her leavin' comin'
Instead of sittin' here
strikin' up another front porch
Marlboro Light
Is she big sky fast lane gone
got the horses runnin'
Looks like I'm on the
wrong side of ridin' off into the
sunset this time
Tell me
How far does a goodbye go
Is it down to a corner bar
Or outta town in a getaway car
If it's on a map
This cowboy's gotta know
Is it a couple miles away
comin' up the road
Or on a midnight train
on a runaway track
How far does a goodbye go
'til it don't come back
'Til it don't come back
But 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
comin' up the road
Or on a midnight train
on a runaway track
How far does a goodbye go
'til it don't come back
'Til it don't come back
