about

“Goodbye Man” is an alt-rock/country song about a relationship torn apart by a man that can’t seem to find his way and who can’t help running away. The song features a catchy verse leading into a powerful vocal driven chorus.

lyrics

An old love from school called today
She seemed so sad, like she lost her way
It wasn't lack of love why I went away
And when the phone got quiet, then I heard her say

You're a wild horse that'll never be tamed
You run away before the finger points blame
The settled life
Guess you're not a big fan
Gotta keep movin' on
You're the Goodbye Man

I was lost for words as I looked back at her
I'm so good at being bad, I left her in a blur
Made me wonder if I should have stayed
'Cause deep down I know I'm not built that way

I'm a wild horse that'll never be tamed
I run away before the finger points blame
The simple life was never my plan
Gotta keep movin' on
I'm a Goodbye Man
The Goodby Man!

It had nothing to do with her
You have to believe me
If there was anything I could have changed
I would have changed it

When I close my eyes and see I her face
Is she the one I can't replace?

But I'm a wild horse that'll never be tamed
I run away before the finger points blame
The settled life
Guess I'm not a big fan
Gotta keep movin' on
I'm the Goodbye Man

The simple life (No, the simple life)
Was never my plan (No, it was never my plan)
Gotta keep movin' on (No no)
I'm the Goodbye Man
The Goodbye Man (Keep movin' on)
The Goodbye Man (Keep movin' on)
The Goodbye Man (Gotta keep movin' on)
The Goodbye Man
