From the recording Goodbye
Lyrics
Goodbye
We drove high speed
Through the middle of the night
Across the state lines, cross the date lines
Cross the continental divide
Only one thing left to say,
As we pulled into LA
Take care, so long
Goodbye.
Seems you and me
Weren’t meant to follow the pack
So we broke away
And no there ain’t no turning back.
There were late nights and bar fights
All sorts of hell to pay
Girlfriends and dry winds
As we drove through Santa Fe.
But we all get older
And yes the winds get colder
I shoulder the weight
You know we all do.
There’s only one thing left to say
No don’t bother askin why
Well I best be on my way
Take care, so long
Goodbye.
Broken bottles, broken dreams
From the west coast to the east
We make ends meet
Just getting by.
It’s a cruel, cruel world
Heartless jobs and dead end girls
You wonder how we ever learned to survive
Summer winter fall
Can’t believe how fast they fall
When I look back on all
We’ve done.
Should I go or should I stay?
Could’ve gone either way,
You make a choice and soon enough
You’re movin on.
But we all get older
And yes the winds get colder
I shoulder the weight
You know we all do.
There’s only one thing left to say
No don’t bother askin why
Well I best be on my way
Take care, so long…
Goodbye.
Goodbye
Goodbye
Good- good- good- goodbye
Hey hey hey, my oh my, take care so long I said goodbye
Hey hey hey, my oh my, take care so long I said goodbye
Hey hey hey, my oh my…. Goodbye
Hey hey hey, my oh my, take care so long I said goodbye
Hey hey hey, my oh my, adios arrivederci baby, goodbye
Hey hey hey, my oh my, take care so long I said goodbye
Hey hey hey, my oh my…
Take care,
So long,
Goodbye.
