Well I guess if I’m honest, it has been a little while
Since she gave me one of her care free smiles
Not the one that you see in the pictures, but the one she saved for me
To sit here in this moment you’re all that I hoped to be
Still tonight when she said she needed a little time
Letting go for good never did cross my mind
Chorus
‘Til the goodbye kiss that lingered a little too long
‘Til the tear in her eye made me say “Baby tell me what’s wrong”
‘Til she drove away and never looked me in the eye
I’m not sure, but that sure felt like goodbye
No she didn't come out and say it, but I don’t think she will be back
She left out of here like a woman whose bags were packed
And I should have seen this coming, though I shouldn't be so surprised
She’s a child of the highway in the wide open skies
No one man ever held her heart completely
What was I thinking, thinking it might be me
Chorus
‘Til the goodbye kiss that lingered a little too long
‘Til the tear in her eye made me say “Baby tell me what’s wrong”
‘Til she drove away and never looked me in the eye
I’m not sure, but that sure felt like goodbye
Sure felt like goodbye
Maybe I’m reading this wrong
She sure didn't leave me much to go on
Chorus
Just a goodbye kiss that lingered a little too long
Just a tear in her eye when I said “Baby tell me what’s wrong”
Then she drove away and never looked me in the eye
I’m not sure, but that sure felt like goodbye
