Good In Goodbye

I was a little boy in Illinois, shooting socks into a bin Dreamin' of the NBA, while the clock counts down from ten City park lights, on summer nights, just the hoop and me I'll always love that 20-10 team, man we made history And I can still see that come back soon sign, leavin' Robinson I left everything I'd ever known, headed up north, hundred miles from home I was missin' them, like they were missin' me My first game, they packed all the seats Sometimes, moments in life, are only meant to last for a little while Some make you laugh, others make you cry But there ain't no doubt in my mind, there's good in goodbye Yeah, there's good in goodbye Those two years at the U of I, man I swear they flew right by Them big wins under Champaign lights Led to fallin' in love, with the love of my life Just like that, I closed my eyes And that orange and blue, turned to red and white I left everything I'd ever known, hopped on a flight and hit the west coast Even when I was missin' home, I had her to hold me close Sometimes, moments in life, are only meant to last for a little while Some make you laugh, others make you cry But there ain't no doubt in my mind, there's good in goodbye Yeah, there's good in goodbye To all those teams, fans in the seats, and everyone who believed In my crazy dreams, thanks for everything, you'll always have a part of me I left everything I'd ever known, out there on the hardwood floor Now there's nothin' like walkin' in the door, and seein' my wife and my little boy Sometimes, moments in life, are only meant to last for a little while Some make you laugh, others make you cry But there ain't no doubt in my mind, there's good in goodbye It's been a helluva ride This is my goodbye
