Good To Say Goodbye Lyrics

Seventeen, big and bad
Butting heads with my dad
It was time for me to leave that house
An old junk car full of worthless stuff
Didn't have a clue, but I'd had enough
Turned the key, hit the gas and headed out
And even though it hurt to see my mama cry
It was good to say goodbye

At twenty-five, wild and free
Thought the world revolved around me
Living loud, spinning out of control
Drinking nights, wasting days
I was in a real bad place
What she saw in me, Heaven only knows
She helped me leave all my demons all behind
And it felt good to say goodbyе

There's a part of you that wants to stay right therе
Right where you are
But if you never walk away
Then you won't get very far

Hadn't talked to dad in years
Mama called and I could hear her tears
Said, "Daddy's fading, don't know how long he has"
Drove all night to get back home
Talk with him in his room alone
Laid to rest all the anger from the past
And it was hard for me to swallow all my pride
But it was good to say goodbye
