It's not that I don't want to see my friends That I grew up with who stuck around It's not that I don't miss an Alma Mater Or the colors in that crowd It's not that I don't want another Main Street neon night That keeps these wheels from rolling past a county line It's the goodbye That still whistles in the wind It's the echo of the last time That I heard that engine running How the autumn leaves that hit the ground Pass a broken heart on their way down Can't see it, but don't mean it isn't there Yeah there's just something in the air There's people dressed in pattern Patagonia Because a cool front's coming through But that ain't the chill that I would get if I went in there And I locked eyes with you It ain't the streets it ain't the town That keeps me from coming round It's the goodbye That still whistles in the wind It's the echo of the last time That I heard that engine running How the autumn leaves that hit the ground Pass a broken heart on their way down Can't see it, but don't mean it isn't there Yeah there's just something in the air There just something in the air Yeah that girl took my breath away And all she left there in its place Was a goodbye in the wind The echo of the last time That I heard that engine running How the autumn leaves that hit the ground Pass a broken heart on their way down Can't see it, but don't mean it isn't there Yeah there's just something in the air There just something in the air
