Lyrics

[Verse 1] You said forever — I should've known better Your forever lasts about as long as Texas weather I built you a castle, you burned it for the insurance So I'm taking your memory out with the trash on Thursday [Pre-Chorus] Keep the ring, keep the dog, keep the guilt I'm keeping the car and every dream you killed [Chorus] So goodbye, good luck, good riddance to the good years I'm gone, I'm free, I'm fifth gear and no mirrors You wanted a villain — fine, I'll be the bad guy But I'm the bad guy doing 95 Singing goodbye, good luck, good riddance To the good years [Verse 2] Your mama loved me — tell her I said sorry For not staying long enough to be your worry You got the house but I got the highway And every exit sign looks like a getaway [Pre-Chorus] Keep the photos, keep the friends, keep the lie I'm keeping the truth and the open sky [Chorus] So goodbye, good luck, good riddance to the good years I'm gone, I'm free, I'm fifth gear and no mirrors You wanted a villain — fine, I'll be the bad guy But I'm the bad guy doing 95 Singing goodbye, good luck, good riddance To the good years [Bridge — shouted, raw] I hope you hear this on the radio I hope it catches you at the red light I hope you roll your window down And I hope you choke on every word Every word, every word... [Final Chorus — all out, vocal shredded] GOODBYE, GOOD LUCK, GOOD RIDDANCE TO THE GOOD YEARS I'M GONE, I'M FREE, I'M FIFTH GEAR AND NO MIRRORS YOU WANTED A VILLAIN — WATCH ME FLY I'M THE BAD GUY DOING 95 SINGING GOODBYE, GOOD LUCK, GOOD RIDDANCE TO THE GOOD YEARS [Outro — engine rev, tires screech, silence] [car door slam] [engine fade]
