MY FAVORITE GOODBYE
Written by Christopher Mason
She said, "You'll regret this"
As she loaded up her Chevrolet
Said, "Good luck findin' somebody better"
Then she drove away
I stood there sick to my stomach
Watchin' those taillights fade from view
A year later, lookin' back
I gotta hand it to you
You're my favorite goodbye
My best bad break
The one I thought would wreck me
Turned out great
Got my dog, my recliner
And my weekends back too
Yeah, out of every goodbye
My favorite one was you
Nobody checks my phone
Nobody moves my stuff
I bought a fishin' boat on Saturday
And nobody called my bluff
I can watch the game in peace
Leave dirty dishes in the sink
Funny how much better life gets
When a man gets time to think
You're my favorite goodbye
My best bad break
The one I thought would wreck me
Turned out great
Got my dog, my recliner
And my weekends back too
Yeah, out of every goodbye
My favorite one was you
Ran into you downtown
You asked if I still miss us
I said, "Only when I'm low on cash—
You were good at spendin' mine."
You're my favorite goodbye
My best bad break
The one I thought would wreck me
Turned out great
Got my dog, my recliner
And now a whole new point of view
Yeah, out of every goodbye
My favorite one was you
Yeah, you're my favorite goodbye.
