Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Goodbye cowboy, goodbye mountain man,
Goodbye gangster, the toughest in the land.
It’s been great knowing you, singing Starship loud,
In that red stinky truck, you made us all so proud.

Goodbye builder, goodbye comedian too,
Goodbye hippie, always true to you.
It’s been great dancing under those Saturday skies,
Laughing with you till the moon would rise.

(Chorus)
Goodbye grandpa, goodbye dad,
Goodbye mentor, the best friend I had.
It’s been a wild ride, you taught me so much,
I’m sorry I never said goodbye as such.
I hope this song will mend that pain,
For both me and you, till we meet again.

(Verse 2)
No pictures of us, like those years didn’t stay,
But the moments with you never fade away.
Carved deep in my heart, where memories reside,
Even when mine start to slip and slide.

I’m waiting for the day I get to see you once more,
But you believed in the dark behind that final door.
I hope that’s the one thing you got wrong,
So I can say goodbye where you belong.

(Chorus)
Goodbye grandpa, goodbye dad,
Goodbye mentor, the best friend I had.
It’s been a wild ride, you taught me so much,
I’m sorry I never said goodbye as such.
I hope this song will mend that pain,
For both me and you, till we meet again.

(Bridge)
Goodbye cowboy, goodbye you old man,
You lived life like only you can.
But I’ll hold on to the love we knew,
And hope someday I’ll say it to you.

(Outro)
Goodbye cowboy… goodbye, you old man.
Till we meet again, I hope that we can.
