The Blackwell Road Band - Last Night (I Said Goodbye) Lyrics

I was trying to make it last a little too long, I wish I would have known it was wrong
Because playing road games and laughing at nothing can't compare to the things we've found
So all of the broken promises that these rings just won't fit around
Made us fade away, one day, and there's nothing left in this town

So this is the last night I'm going to spend alone
I'm hitting the road in an old Ford, "Mama, I'm Coming Home" on the radio
This is the first place she's gonna run, and I don't want to be another one-and-done
That would be one hell of a ride...

It was the one time that she ever tried, but last night I said goodbye

I pull off to the side on the 65, let's get up and let's get going
There's just twenty miles until Nashville's in sight, I'm gonna take what I came to find
Just as I rolled on into town, there's a sweet thing, she's staring up and down
Before I could take another drink she says "Hey, hun! Do you wanna dance?"

She said "It's my birthday, and I'm going to let it all go!"
She went hitting them low with her highball, "Bring me out another one, his money's at the table"
That was the last time I'd ever turn the other cheek, we all know I'm just "the other one"
It was one hell of a night...

The first time that I ever tried was the last night I said goodbye
But ya'll know it ain't for long

That was the first night I didn't spend alone
But I'm hitting the road in my old Ford, and I'm going back home
This is the first place I'd return if I go back home and never learn
She was one hell of a ride...

The first time that I ever cried was the last night I said goodbye
