As I slide the key in the ignition of this ol' truck and fire it up
I'm struck hard by the heaviness of this situation
my eyes are fixed on the small silver half heart keychain you gave me dangling in the dashboard light
I read the word "forever" over and over again, I wanna cry
I turn off my radio as I turn off your county road
to pick you up just like I've done at least a thousand times
the gravel underneath these tires,
half mile stretch of ol barbed wire,
drops of rain fallin from the sky seem to know my pain,
Know that I'm about to,
Reach out to hold your hand in mine, feel your love baby one more time,
press against your lips and hold you tight, I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye
I could put it off for another day act like everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna break my heart to see you cry
I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye
See it's not that what I got to do is more important than you,
It's just what I gotta do
and I know you don't understand, hell I don't understand myself
As I pull up to your house, I feel my head spinnin' around just thinkin' about how everything is about to change
every step I take towards your door I'm a little less certain than the step before
oh but I know, I know, I know what I gotta do
I got to reach out and hold your hand in mine, feel your love baby one more time,
press against your lips and hold you tight, I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye
I could put it off for another day, act like everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna break my heart to see you cry
I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye
Reach out and hold your hand in mine, feel your love baby one more time
press against your lips and hold you tight
yeah I could put it off for another day and act like everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna break my heart to see you cry
I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye
goodbye
