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 have done it sooner, now I know it's time
Cause we said a lot of things, but we never said goodbye
We were a team, we were the best of friends
We had a world were no-one else could find us
The summer passed, September came too soon
And suddenly that world was all behind us
Driving through the night 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, but we never said goodbye
I drove 1000 miles chasing a memory
But all the pieces of what used to be have shattered
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
