Here are the lyrics for "How Far Does a Goodbye Go" by Jason Aldean: She said she was headed over to see her mama
To try to clear her head she needed a little time
Said we could talk more about it later if you wanna
Walked out the door, swore everything was gonna be alright It's been 4 days and 3 nights of whiskey
And I ain't heard a word from her
And that's what gets me So tell me how far does a goodbye go
Is it down to a corner bar
Or out of town in a getaway car
If it's on a map this cowboy's gotta know
Is it a couple miles away coming up the road
Or on a midnight train on a runaway track
How far does a goodbye go
Till it don't come back I might've been alright if I'd seen her leaving coming
Instead of sitting here striking up another front porch Marlboro Light
Is she big sky fast lane gone, got the horses running
Looks like I'm on the wrong side of riding off into the sunset this time Tell me how far does a goodbye go
Is it down to a corner bar
Or out of town in a getaway car
If it's on a map this cowboy's gotta know
Is it a couple miles away coming up the road
Or on a midnight train on a runaway track
How far does a goodbye go
Till it don't come back It's been 4 days and 3 nights of whiskey
And I ain't heard a word from her
And that's what gets me So tell me how far does a goodbye go
Is it a couple miles away coming up the road
Or on a midnight train on a runaway track
How far does a goodbye go
Till it don't come back
Till it don't come back These lyrics reflect the emotional story in the song about wondering how far a goodbye can go before it truly ends.
