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
