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've done it sooner
Now I know it's time
'Cause we said a lot of things baby

But we never said goodbye

We were a team

We were the best of friends
We had a world where no one else could find us
The summer passed

September came too soon
And suddenly that world was all behind us
Driving through the desert
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 baby

But we never said goodbye

I drove 1000 miles
Chasing a memory
But all the pieces of what used to be have scattered

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
