lyrics

The light bulb in the kitchen
Been burned out for a week
But I guess it doesn’t matter much
Cause I ain’t got the stomach to eat

They should have burned this whole town down
With the flood of ‘89
But then I would’ve never known your body
Under the light of the Exxon sign
I heard the news that you died
In a wreck out on 506
Sometime in the dawn of the night
Into the guardrail you slid

Well, it’s been almost 20 years
Since your letter said goodbye
Never thought then you’d give this sad boy
Another reason to dry his eyes
And it makes me happy
To think about our time
And the way you taught me
To kiss a love goodbye
I can still taste salt on your skin
And cheap beer on your breath
I still see the neon Pegasus
Red wings so iridescent

The way your thigh felt in my hand
The way my hand felt on your thigh
It was the summer we spent together
So free and young and high
And it makes me happy
To think about our time
And the way you taught me
To kiss a love goodbye
