lyrics

I packed my bags the other day and swore I’d never find my way this way again
I drove a thousand miles north up through the mountains
And left my world behind

I never knew what it meant to be a Southern belle
‘Till I crossed that Dixie line and said farewell

Goodbye peaches
Goodbye sweet magnolia blossoms in the summertime
Goodbye to the whip-o-will singing sweetly in the night among the longleaf pines
Goodbye stranger, one who’ll pass you on the street
Every time he’ll greet you with a smile
Goodbye hometown and everyone I’ve ever known

I settled in New England where the winter sky is grey and full of snow
And traded in my bare feet for snow shoes and long walks in the cold
But these winter nights get lonely sometimes up here
And I think of all the ones that I’ve held dear

Goodbye peaches
Goodbye sweet magnolia blossoms in the summertime
Goodbye to the whip-o-will singing sweetly in the night among the longleaf pines
Goodbye stranger, one who’ll pass you on the street
Every time he’ll greet you with a smile
Goodbye hometown and everyone I’ve ever known

There’s something about these old country towns in the north
That reminds me of my grandpa’s music store
I’ve got his old guitar with me to play once in awhile
Makes the miles not seem so far

Perhaps the best way to be grateful for the people in your life
Is to know what it’s like when their not near

Goodbye peaches
Goodbye sweet magnolia blossoms in the summertime
Goodbye to the whip-o-will singing sweetly in the night among the longleaf pines
Goodbye stranger, one who’ll pass you on the street
Every time he’ll greet you with a smile
Goodbye hometown and everyone I’ve ever loved
