Lyrics

[00:15.733] Goodbye mamma goodbye to you too pa
[00:22.045] Little sister you'll have to wait a while to come along
[00:29.147] Goodbye to this house and all it's memories
[00:35.484] We just got too old to say we're wrong
[00:44.213] Got to make one last trip to my bedroom
[00:50.212] Guess I'll have to leave some stuff behind
[00:56.211] It's funny how the same old crooked pictures
[01:02.212] Just don't seem the same to me tonight
[01:11.729] There ain't no use in shedding lonely tears mamma
[01:17.893] There ain't no use in shouting at me pa
[01:23.994] I can't live no longer with your fears mamma
[01:30.160] I love you but that hasn't helped at all
[01:38.946] Each of us must do the things that matter
[01:44.993] All of us must see what we can see
[01:50.864] It was long ago you must remember
[01:57.078] You were once as young and scared as me
[02:06.689] I don't know how hard it is yet mamma
[02:12.808] When you realize you're growing old
[02:18.725] I know how hard is not to be younger
[02:24.969] I know you've tried to keep me from the cold
[02:33.621] Thanks for all you done it may sound hollow
[02:39.668] Thank you for the good times that we've known
[02:45.678] But I must find my own road now to follow
[02:52.167] You will all be welcome in my home
[03:01.740] Got my suitcase I must go now
[03:08.349] I don't mind about the things you said
[03:14.103] I'm sorry Mom I don't know where I'm going
[03:20.184] Remember little sister look ahead
[03:28.855] Tomorrow I'll be in some other sunrise
[03:35.046] Maybe I'll have someone at my side
[03:41.264] Mamma give your love back to your husband
[03:47.279] Father you've have taught we well, goodbye
[03:57.688] Goodbye Mamma goodbye to you too pa
