This looks to be his go-to crew for emotional pain and suffering.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest change is the arrangement. &#8220;How Far &#8230;&#8221; is a more straightforward rock-country power ballad, while &#8220;Trouble&#8221; relied on an R&amp;B groove. All three have found success at radio and digital streamers.<\/p>\n<p>During &#8220;How Far Does a Goodbye Go,&#8221; Aldean tells a first-person narrative about watching a girl leave him for a few days to clear her mind. Days turn into weeks and follow-ups become sparse.<\/p>\n<p>The hook casts a seed of optimism that she may turn around, even though everything about his vocal performance and the song&#8217;s verses speak to the truth.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-post-image \">\n<figure class=\"img-tag has-sizer alignnone\">\n<p><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Jason Aldean How Far Does a Goodbye Go Art<\/span><\/p><figcaption>BBR Nashville<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Jason Aldean, &#8220;How Far Does a Goodbye Go&#8221; Lyrics:<\/h3>\n<p><em>She said she was headed over to see her mama \/ To try to clear her head she needed a little time \/ Said we could talk more about it later if you wanna \/ Walked out the door, swore everything was gonna be all right.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre-Chorus<\/strong><em><br \/>It&#8217;s been four days and three nights of whiskey \/ And I ain&#8217;t heard a word from her and that&#8217;s what gets me.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chorus:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/><em>So tell me how far does a goodbye go \/ Is it down to a corner bar, or out of town in a getaway car \/ If it&#8217;s on a map this cowboy&#8217;s gotta know \/ Is it a couple miles away coming up the road or on a midnight train on a runaway track \/ How far does a goodbye go until it don&#8217;t come back.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I might have been alright if I&#8217;d seen her leaving coming \/ Instead of sitting here striking up another front porch Marlboro Light \/ Is she big sky fast lane gone got the horses runnin&#8217; \/ Looks like I&#8217;m on the wrong side of riding off into the sunset this time.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Repeat Chorus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Repeat Pre-Chorus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Repeat Chorus<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"photogallery-wrapper blog-photogallery \">\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">40 Photos of Jason Aldean Young<\/h2>\n<div class=\"photogallery-description\">\n<p>Jason Aldean exploded onto the country music scene in 2005 with his first hit &#8220;Hicktown,&#8221; which shot to No. 10 on the country charts.
