Never Said Goodbye

I got a friend

He lives down in Old Albuquerque

We used to watch the sun coming up together

But he was hungry then

And he got restless

I heard he took a wife

I think her name is Heather

All of a sudden I'm driving in the rain

With the Santa Fe horizon

Calling out my name

Should've done it sooner

Now I know it's time

'Cause we said a lot of things baby

But we never said goodbye

We were a team

We were the best of friends

We had a world where no one else could find us

The summer passed

September came too soon

And suddenly that world was all behind us

Driving through the desert

With nothing on my mind

But the thought of catching up

With a ghost I left behind

Don't know what I'll do

But I know I've got to try

'Cause we said a lot of things baby

But we never said goodbye

I drove a 1000 miles

Chasing a memory

But all the pieces of what used to be have scattered

And all the little things

That used to mean so much

I look around me now and see that they don't matter

All of a sudden I'm driving home again

'Cause sometimes goodbye is better left unsaid

The Santa Fe horizon will know the reason why

I said a lot of things to you

But I never said goodbye

Never said goodbye

When you can't let go, you just hang on

When I turned my back for just a mile

And you were gone

And I can't let go

So I just hang on

Just hang on

Here comes the sun again

It's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright
