Like We Never Said Goodbye
Clay Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't know you were gonna be at that bar when I walked in
Til I walked in
I looked up, saw your face, turned around
And I walked back out again
Then I thought there's too much that we shared
So I made myself get ahold of myself
And walked back in
And went right up to you
I could feel you were caught off guard
Neither one of us knew just what to do
So I said
How ya been, been a while
Tell me how's your Mama
You said Good, you can sit down if you wanna
I said I was just thinkin' bout Oklahoma
The wild roller coaster ride we had that summer
Before we knew it we were on our 2nd glass of wine
Sittin' there talkin' just like
We had never said goodbye

Well even after all that time well it clicked just like before
Maybe a little more
Before we knew it they were closing up the joint
Yea, stackin' them chairs
Lockin' them doors
I asked the waitress would she mind if we slept there
And stayed for breakfast
We both laughed
You grabbed your purse
I paid our tab
Standing underneath the moon
I couldn't help but ask
What you say we take a stroll down by the river
What a night, girl can you believe this weather
I been thinking we were pretty damn good together
You said yea wonder why did we ever let it go
I said I don't know but after seeing you tonight
Well It feels just like
We had never said goodbye
Never said goodbye





I been thinking maybe we should give it one more try
Like we never said good bye

Overall Meaning

In Clay Walker's song Like We Never Said Goodbye, the singer recounts an unexpected reunion with an old flame. As he walks into a bar, he sees her face, turns back around and then walks back in. The familiarity between the two is palpable but neither knows how to react. They exchange pleasantries and catch up on each other's lives before reminiscing about a summer they spent together in Oklahoma. Before they know it, they have been talking for hours, just like "we had never said goodbye."


The lyrics describe the rekindling of old flames and the power of nostalgia. When they first see each other, they are caught off guard, but as they spend more time together, they begin to remember the good times they shared. The singer's internal monologue shows his emotional turmoil as he grapples with the past. Despite the pain they may have caused each other when they parted ways, they are able to reconnect and feel like they never really said goodbye.


Overall, the song captures the hope and uncertainty that comes with running into an old love. It suggests that sometimes it's worth revisiting the past to see where it might lead.

Do you have a account in Smule, and talk whit your fans? Or is a fake?

Dave Country

This is how it really goes between some people ..... that inability to be strangers no matter how much time flys or how outragious the break was- The time, damage, division, past, etc... doesn't matter---nothing breaks what's natural unless you force it and that familar spirit is profound when you have it...

Dae Williams

Truly one of the best voices in country music!

Francesca Floris

I seriously can't explain how amazing this sounds๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Jennifer Smith

Your voice is just as great as it has been since 1993! My junior year of high school. Been a fan ever since!!! TRUE country music right here๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿค
