I sit here in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle is my only friend

Remember when we used to park out ? street
Out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my back seat, baby

Remember how we used to talk about busting out
We'd break their hearts

Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Say goodbye
Never say goodbye (ie)
Holding on we got to try
Holding on to never say goodbye

PLAY INTRO AGAIN (without second guitar)

VERSE 2
(rhythm is very chorused out, perhaps an acoustic)

Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a 6 pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go

Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band played our favorite song
And I held you in my arms so strong

We danced so close, we danced so slow
And I swore I'd never let you go

G D       G  D 
Together, forever
