[Verse 1] My dog went cold in the yard Mud on the porch, moon in the jar Truck said "quit" on a gravel road Left me with a cracked windshield glow Wife packed fast in a paper sack Said, "Don't wait up, I won't come back" I watched that taillight leave the lane Just me and the rain and the pain [Pre-Chorus] But I kept my boots on Kept my teeth grinned tight Took the wreckage home Like a dare tonight [Chorus] Goodbye, goodbye I'm still alive Goodbye, goodbye I don't know why Goodbye, goodbye The dark can't stay I lost it all Then I found my way [Verse 2] Barn door swinging on one hinge now Bills on the dash, nothing to count Radio hissing through the static dust Every old promise turned to rust I hit that town with a bent-up frame Sat in the diner, learned my name From the man in the mirror's crack He said, "Boy, you can build it back" [Pre-Chorus] So I stomped the floor Got a spark in my chest If the whole thing broke Then I can break less [Chorus] Goodbye, goodbye I'm still alive Goodbye, goodbye I don't know why Goodbye, goodbye The dark can't stay I lost it all Then I found my way [Bridge] At the county line I saw the dawn Not clean, not kind Just moving on I picked up a wrench Picked up my name From the wreck and mud I rose again [Final Chorus] Goodbye, goodbye I'm still alive Goodbye, goodbye I don't know why Goodbye, goodbye The dark can't stay I lost it all Then I found my way Goodbye, goodbye I bite back the night Goodbye, goodbye I step into light Goodbye, goodbye The hurt can pray I lost it all Then I found my way
