Never Even Got to Say Goodbye

I'da brought you a souvenir from the city you never saw

You woulda loved it here, but your truck couldn't make it out this far

We'da stayed up singin' old Hank Williams songs you used to like

The ones we listened to together back when I was five

If I'da seen this comin', I'da drove all through the night

But I never even got to say goodbye

I had to tell the preacher which songs to sing and verse to read

'Cause you weren't the every Sunday kind, but we knew you believed

I know you would've loved to see the sunset with your family

All gathered underneath the tree you planted on the land you left me

I can't help but think, if I'd been there then you'd be fine

But I never even got to say goodbye

Someday when I get married

Who's gonna give me away?

I don't wanna do this life without you

Oh, but I didn't get a say

So I'II shoot that trophy deer you had your sight set on all year

And l'lI dial your old number 'til your voicemail disappears

I'lI save a stool beside me every time I'm at the bar

And make a wish you're up there somewhere among the stars

I know I'm supposed to let go and move on with my life

But I never even got to say goodbye

No, I never even got to say goodbye
