Goodbye to me and you
Goodbye to the life we knew
One last long embrace
Let go and walk on through
I'm leaving everything behind
For a peace that I can't find
The ghosts that roam this house
Like winter air right through our souls
And it feels like dying
It just feels like time to go
Goin' down south to dream another dream
Maybe check out Memphis, Tennessee
Take the night train and an extra pair of jeans
Can't think of anything else I really need
And all my experiences ride with me
This town is dead to me
And I can't stop chasing my dreams
I love you more than anything
But what you want I could never be
I love you more than anything
But only alone can we both be free
Goodbye to me and you
Goodbye to the life we knew
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Let go and walk on through
Goodbye to the life we knew
One last long embrace
Let go and walk on through
I'm leaving everything behind
For a peace that I can't find
The ghosts that roam this house
Like winter air right through our souls
And it feels like dying
It just feels like time to go
Goin' down south to dream another dream
Maybe check out Memphis, Tennessee
Take the night train and an extra pair of jeans
Can't think of anything else I really need
And all my experiences ride with me
This town is dead to me
And I can't stop chasing my dreams
I love you more than anything
But what you want I could never be
I love you more than anything
But only alone can we both be free
Goodbye to me and you
Goodbye to the life we knew
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Let go and walk on through

Bryan is a motorcycle fanatic and wrote detailed stories about his roadtrips on his Night Train a while back on their website. I figure it is about leaving home for awhile and being on the road alone.
