That bar sign still flickers like it knows my name Same corner bar, different night, same old flame I took the long way past your mama’s street Old tire swing still hanging, just sways in the breeze There’s a dent in the door from that summer we fought In a rusted out Chevy we shouldn't have bought Bartender looked up like he'd seen a ghost Poured me a whiskey, said “you’re back here alone?” I laughed it off but I knew he was right Didn’t count on you walking in tonight I almost turned when I saw that truck Same crooked sticker, same faded luck I told myself I was passing through Just one quick drink, nothing to prove But there you stood with that devilish grin Like no time’s passed and we never quit My hands went cold on that barroom glass Didn’t think I’d run into my past We were sparks in a field too dry One wrong word and we'd light the sky We burned it down, swore we’d never return Still here watching those ashes burn We said goodbye like it was forever Slamming doors in stormy weather But here we are where the truth don’t hide Two lost souls on a Friday night I still hear you in every song I still feel where we went wrong Time moved on but it didn’t erase The way forever still sounds in your name I remember nights out by Miller’s field Cheap beer buzz and a steering wheel You dancing barefoot on my tailgate Saying “don’t grow up, let’s just stay this way” I was too wild, you were too real Didn’t know just how a good thing feels Now every mile’s just miles alone Wishing I’d never let you go We were gasoline and a match No looking back once we lit that path We swore we'd never go through that flame But here we are calling each other's name We said goodbye like it was forever Slamming doors in stormy weather But here we are where the truth don’t hide Two lost souls on a Friday night I still hear you in every song I still feel where we went wrong Time moved on but it didn’t erase The way forever still sounds in your name If I asked you to stay, would you laugh or leave? If I said I still care, would you still believe? We could start with a drink, just one more try Or we finish this story we left half alive We ain't who we were, but we ain't brand new Somewhere between is the truth we knew We said goodbye like it was forever But forever don’t end that easy Now here we stand with the past in sight Two old flames in a lonely light I still hear you in every song I still feel where we went wrong Maybe time don’t heal, just rearrange Cause forever still answers to your name That old bar sign still flickers the same Guess some things don’t ever change One more round… or one last goodbye In this dusty bar where our worlds collide
