Goodbye's the only thing I ever knew how to say Always had a heart that never knew how to stay Leavin' never felt like I was runnin' away As long as I found someone else Late at night was everything that I understood Missin' you would always end up feelin' so good Comin' back, it never made me do what I should I just sit and blame myself Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad? I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had You were always just a little out of my league Guess that I was wilder than you wanted to be I tried to hide the devil that was hidin' in me But you saw right through it all Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad? I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had Never had your heart Never had your love And I never had a chance to tell you Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad? I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had
