how far does a goodbye go

Jason Aldean

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

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 a 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?

I might ve been alright
if I d seen her leavin coming (leavin coming)
Instead of sitting here striking up
another front porch Marlboro Light
(Striking up another Marlboro Light)
Is she big sky, fast lane gone?
Got the horses runnin ?
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 a 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
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 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
