In this world of lost horizons

Where your dreams burn fast

But your nights go slower

Ever find that you're compromising

All your hopes and fears

Just to get to know her



So you take a walk down the goodbye highway

The hello goodbye way

It's a long long road

Ever take a stroll down the goodbye highway

The some other time way

Try to ease your load



She was never one for social graces

And hangin' out with the midnight faces

Wore me out

I guess the thoughts of the nights alone

Or the time waiting for the telephone

Removed the doubt



So we took a ride down the goodbye highway

The hello goodbye way

It's the longest road

Soon you're fighting over the yours or my way

The do or die way's

The only way you know



So you stand up for the things that you're losing

Out on but it's all so confusing

You hold on but it slips right through your hands

Guess it's so long with a change of direction

Goodbye gotta make my connection

Solo, as you head on out the door, forever more



So you take a walk down the goodbye highway

The hello goodbye way

It's a one way road

Ever find yourself down the goodbye highway

The some other time way

Nowhere left to go, nowhere left to go
