Goodbye Drive-By Truckers

These cities blur before me
A swirl of colors leans against the sky
Gone so far away
And I never really told you goodbye

I know it's kind of lame
But sometimes things just turn out that way
We were the best of friends
And I'll always thought that it would be that way

We started out with nothing
But wild plans and big ideas and dreams
You were quick to swing the hammer
And always fast with some ingenious scheme

Sometimes we argued violently
But forged it out of bedrock into steel
Our foundations were so solid
And our instincts based on something very real

And I feel so damned nostalgic
Every time I think about those times
I forget how it became
That I wouldn't recognize you on the line

And I'd start to feel so guilty
But goddamn it, I swear to you, I tried
To bridge between the distances
Before I left without saying goodbye
