JOHN KRINGSTAD

saddled up his old blue roan
at the break of dawn
thought he'd be better off alone
and it was it time for movin' on
left her a west texas heartache
spring of 1885
i guess even way back then
goodbye was still goodbye

goodbye is still goodbye
it's still real tears we cry
no it hasn't changed, always been the same
it hurts when true love dies
everyone's got a story 
you've got yours and i've got mine
everything else changes with the times
but goodbye is still goodbye

cowboy waitin' at the airline gate for a plane to idaho
he makes his living hangin' on for eight
how he loves to rodeo
she's on his cellphone cryin'
she can't take it anymore
she's tired of his dream
and tonight she's out the door

goodbye is still goodbye
it's still real tears we cry
no it hasn't changed, always been the same
it hurts when true love dies
everyone's got a story
you've got yours and i've got mine
everything else changes with the times
but goodbye is still goodbye

goodbye is still goodbye

goodbye is still goodbye
it's still real tears we cry
no it hasn't changed, always been the same
it hurts when true love dies
everyone's got a story
you've got yours and i've got mine
everything else changes with the times
but goodbye is still goodbye

everything else changes with the times
but goodbye is still goodbye
