"Like We Never Said Goodbye" is a song written by Cory Batten and Tiffany Goss and recorded by American country music singer Clay Walker. It was released in January 2012 as the third second single to his album She Won't Be Lonely Long. It is also the 32nd single of Walker's career.

The song was written after a reunion of the two songwriters Cory Batten and Tiffany Goss after working together previously on the song "Down by the River" on the Brooks and Dunn album "Hillbilly Deluxe". Batten told the website "Taste of Country", "We hadn’t really written together for about a year and a half after that, maybe. Tiffany and I have always been really close friends. We saw each other at a restaurant, and was like, ‘Hey! It’s like we never said goodbye, hanging out together!’ We were like, ‘There’s our next song right there!’" He also said, "The only hard part that I remember I remember about this song was where to take it if he did sit down next to her. What would be the next logical thing that happens? How do you break that ice and start talking again? I knew I wanted it to have a snowball effect with the story. You see each other, and then this happens and this happens and this happens … like a snowball effect, where they’re together at the end. Like if I hadn’t of walked back in, then we would have never sat down to talk. If we hadn’t sat down to talk, we would never have had that glass of wine." Batten also revealed, "Clay told me after he heard it, he knew immediately that he wanted to cut it. He’s always told me that he’s been a big fan of the song, and he was instrumental in making sure that it was going to be a single. He said he believed in it as much as any song that he has ever recorded."

"Like We Never Said Goodbye" is about a man who by chance runs into an old flame at a bar and begins talking to her despite originally feeling uncomfortable about the encounter. After talking, the man and his ex begin communicating like the old times when they were together. The bar closes after a long time talking and they talk about getting back together and trying the relationship again.

Walker performed the song on The Rachael Ray Show on December 23, 2011. He also performed the song on The Bachelor on January 23.
