Pulled away in a taxi cab
I see your face pressed to the glass
Oh, I, I'm gonna wait for you
Say goodbye to the neighbor's kids
The secrets, the things we did
Oh, I, I was too late for you
Good bye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye
She was living in Baltimore
At a truck stop outside Arkansas
He said, ah, ah what's the use for me
He hangs up,
his eyes start to burn out of habit
He checks the coin return, oh I
I better let it be
Goodbye, leaving's overdue
Goodbye, it's sad but true
Goodbye, all that we went through
Goodbye, go on,
start anew
He was so shook up,
pushing in that truck,
and she was never gonna know
He said I'm outta here,
I know the road is clear
Nothing to feel anymore
The writer sits with his head in hand
Make a statement, take a stand
But I, I'm not so mad anymore
Secretaries at the I .B .N.
They answer the phone
and say he's not in
And I, I wait for her at the door
Goodbye to the lost brigade
Goodbye, as the sunlight fades
Goodbye, oh a whole new world
Goodbye, as real as cultured
Goodbye, to the five and dime
Goodbye, by the wasted time
Goodbye, to the lies we told
Goodbye, coming from the cold
We went off the track,
but you can't look back
To the sacred truth of your eternal youth
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye,
Goodbye, Goodbye,
Goodbye, Goodbye, you
