D                               Bm        A       D
We met up at my place cause my folks were out of town
  G                                     D             A
It was our last night together we were gonna make it count
        D                          Bm         A      D
We were headed off to Auburn, Teas Tech, and Kansas State
       G                                  D                A
Like a band of brothers breaking up with one more show to play

[Chorus]
      G                                 D
So we drank a case of shiner and all my daddy's Makers Mark
                                                   A
A        G     D
Pulled those speakers on the back porch sat around and smoked cigars
  G                                  D            A        G
Sang along and laughed till dawn and watched that red sun rise
            Bm  A    G    D
That was a damn good goodbye

[Verse]
       D                                    Bm        A       D
I was hurtin' that next morning but I had one thing left to do
           G                          D              A
Cuz the only girl I ever loved was bound for Baton Rouge
   D                                    Bm       A      D
We said we'd make it work but we both knew that was a lie
  G                                          D           A
High school love ain't strong enough for a seven hour drive

[Chorus]
       G                                          D
So we parked out by the football field where we knew we'd be alone
                                       A
A                           G           D
Leaned them bucket seats way back and made love all night long
 G                                       D            A        G
Jumped the fence sat in the stands and watched that red sun rise
            Bm  A    G    D
That was a damn good goodbye

[Verse]
 D                          Bm       A      D
They ain't ever easy and sometimes they go bad
     G                                           D               A
Oh but sometimes they turn into the best times you ever had
 D                                         Bm      A         G
Nothing makes a memory that you'll take with you all your life
         Bm   A    G   D
Like  a damn good goodbye
