As I sit in this smokey room The night about to end I pass my time with strangers But this bottle's my only friend Remember when we used to park On Butler Street out in the dark Remember when we lost the keys And you lost more than that in my backseat Remember how we used to talk About busting out, we'd break their hearts Together, forever Never say goodbye, never say goodbye You and me and my old friends Hoping it would never end Say goodbye, never say goodbye Holdin' on, we got to try Holdin' on to never say goodbye Remember days of skipping school Racing cars and being cool With a six 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 they 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 Together, forever Never say goodbye, never say goodbye You and me and my old friends Hoping it would never end Never say goodbye, never say goodbye Holdin' on, we got to try Holdin' on to never say goodbye I guess you'd say we used to talk About busting out We'd break their hearts Together, forever Never say goodbye, never say goodbye You and me and my old friends Hoping it would never end Say goodbye, never say goodbye Holdin' on, we got to try Holdin' on to never say goodbye, yeah, yeah
