I know you're leavin' babe goodbye and so long
I hope someday somebody listens to your song
Those bright lights never ever spell your name it's true
Maybe a change it seem would be the best for you
Ah so long babe so long babe so long babe so long babe so long babe
I know you're leavin' babe goodbye and so long
Pick up the pieces and go back where you belong
You gave 'em all you had what did they give you
They gave you nothin' babe so give 'em nothin' too ah so long babe
[ horns + strings ]
I know you're leavin' babe goodbye and so long
You never made it babe I wonder what went wrong
They never understood your songs here's what you do
Just walk away and leave 'em let 'em come to you
Ah so long babe so long babe so long babe so long babe so long babe
