Raleigh Keegan - Our First Goodbye

Verse 1
Momma met a man in Birmingham.
They spent the night together.
She was young and he was drunk.
He promised her forever.
After fakin' love,
He slipped off in the night.
And before you know,
She was startin' to show,
And head off to prison.
Got locked up for sellin' drugs.
Just tryin' to make a living.
Six months later,
December ‘eighty nine.
Our first hello, was our first goodbye.
Chorus
And I can't help but wonder
Exactly how she felt.
Handin' off her brand new baby boy
To someone else.
But with her tears on her kiss,
She showed me what love is.
That's why
Our first hello was our first goodbye.
Verse 2
Little does she know
I've found a home
Just north of Cincinnati.
With a mom and dad
Who love me as they were the ones
Who had me.
They gave me everythin' I need in life.
So I hope she knows,
What she did was right.
Chorus
Cuz I can't help but wonder
Exactly how she felt.
Handin' off her brand new baby boy
To someone else.
But with her tears on her kiss,
She showed me what love is.
That's why
Our first hello was our first goodbye.

Bridge
She's out there
Thinkin' 'bout me
Now and then.
And I hope there comes a day
When we can meet again.

Chorus
Cuz I can't help but wonder
Exactly how she felt.
Handin' off her brand new baby boy
To someone else.
But with her tears on her kiss,
She showed me what love is.
That's why
Our first hello was our first goodbye.
Our first goodbye…
