My son's friends are meeting one last time,
Down by the river where some other friends died.
It's not the last time that they'll say "goodbye".
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
To my hometown.
He's trading farms and friends and family
For west coast dreams maybe a college degree
Behind the wheel he looks a little like me waving
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
To my hometown.
Diapers and doll-sized socks
Paper planes shot down by rocks
"Good Night Moon" and "Goldilocks"
Knee-high spies picking bad guys locks
First dates with their aftershocks
Hormones racing round the clock
It went by so fast I never thought
I'd hear these:
Goodbyes
Goodbye
Goodbye
To my hometown
I sold the leather couch, kept the car
I'm traveling with a pen and a dream guitar
He showed me how to say goodbye and follow the stars (cliché, hate this line)
So Goodbye…
