never said goodbye lyrics

I got a friend
He lives down in Old Albuquerque
We used to watch the sun coming up together
But he was hungry then
And he got restless
I heard he took a wife
I think her name is Heather

All of a sudden I'm driving in the rain
With the Santa Fe horizon
Calling out my name
Should've done it sooner
Now I know it's time
'Cause we said a lot of things baby
But we never said goodbye

We were a team
We were the best of friends
We had a world where no one else could find us
The summer passed
September came too soon
And suddenly that world was all behind us

Driving through the desert
With nothing on my mind
But the thought of catching up
With a ghost I left behind
Don't know what I'll do
But I know I've got to try
'Cause we said a lot of things baby
But we never said goodbye

I drove a 1000 miles
Chasing a memory
But all the pieces of what used to be have scattered
And all the little things
That used to mean so much
I look around me now and see that they don't matter

All of a sudden I'm driving home again
'Cause sometimes goodbye is better left unsaid
The Santa Fe horizon will know the reason why
I said a lot of things to you
But I never said goodbye
Never said goodbye

When you can't let go, you just hang on
When I turned my back for just a mile
And you were gone

And I can't let go
So I just hang on

Just hang on
Here comes the sun again
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
