Steve Earle and Emmylou Harris play Earle's song "Goodbye" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at the Camp Winnarainbow benefit concert at Herbst Theater in San Francisco, California on September 29, 2022. Goodbye appeared on Steve Earle's fifth studio album, Train A Comin' (1995), and then on Emmylou Harris' eighteenth studio album, Wrecking Ball (1995). Joining them in this performance were Chris Masterson (guitar) and Eleanor Whitmore (fiddle).
Earle and Harris, who were both in town for the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, performed as part of a songwriters' circle at Toward The Fun(ds): A Concert Benefitting Camp Winnarainbow.

Goodbye lyrics:
I remember holding on to you
All them long and lonely nights that I put you through
Somewhere in there, I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I off somewhere or just too high?
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
[Instrumental passage]
I only miss you every now and then
Like a soft breeze blowing up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers, I break down and cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
That's one place I'll never go in my life again
Was I off somewhere or maybe just too high?
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
No I can't remember if we said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Written by Stephen Fain Earle

Steve Earle official bio:
Steve Earle remembers exactly when he knew he wanted to be a songwriter. He was barely a teenager, growing up in Schertz, Texas, looking over a copy of a Beatles record. “The little line in parentheses next to ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand,’” said ‘Lennon-McCartney,’ Earle says. “I said, ‘I know who those guys are.’ And then I figured out that they wrote the song. And so that was when I started, you know, trying to write songs. They all had girls’ names for titles for a long time.”
Music was a big deal in Earle’s family and his dad, an air traffic controller, played piano. “My dad wouldn’t let me have an electric guitar,” he says. As a teen, he discovered Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Paul Simon and the Johnny Cash Show. “I always say my job was invented by Bob Dylan,” says Earle. “I’m a firm believer that rock & roll only becomes an art-form because of the lyrics. If it hadn’t been for Bob Dylan wanting to be John Lennon and John Lennon wanting to be Bob Dylan, it wouldn’t have been cranked up to the level of literature that makes it OK for rock & roll to be taken seriously.”
Jerry Jeff is Earle’s 22nd album. He’s released nearly an album a year since getting sober in the mid 1990s, LPs ranging from bluegrass to blues to folk to country. One of America’s most gifted living songwriters, he is singing better than he ever has, working harder. At the moment, he’s writing two books, his second play, and hosts his long running The Steve Earle Show: Hardcore Troubadour Radio on Sirius XM. Throughout the pandemic, he also hosted Steve Earle’s Guitar Town, a KZbin series about his massive instrument collection. “I’m just trying to stay out of trouble,” says Earle with a laugh. “If I stay busy, then I’m OK.”

This is one of my favorite songs I love the music and the haunting melody. I don't think anyone can hear this without remembering someone.

Emmylou’s version of this song (on Wrecking Ball) is one of the greatest recordings of all time. Seriously!

Wow, God bless you both, as we rise, stumble, rise again. Love is the answer, applied liberally, wrapped in forgiveness, and compassion…you two are inspirations to all who listen with open ears and open hearts thanks, always.

As D H already noted, Emmylou's version of "Goodbye" on WRECKING BALL is unequaled -- one of the most wrenching songs and performances ever. This is lovely and I'm happy to have heard it. But Emmylou's first take just brings me to tears every damn time.
