Goodbye momma goodbye to you too pa

Little sister you'll have to wait a while to come along

Goodybye to this house and all it's memories

We just got too old to say we're wrong

Got to make one last trip to my bedroom

Guess I'll have to leave some stuff behind

It's funny how the same old crooked pictures

Just don't seem the same to me tonight

There ain't no use in sheding lonely tears mamma

There ain't no use in shouting at me pa

I can't live no longer with your fears mamma

I love you but that hasn't helped at all

Each of us must do the things that matter

All of us must see what we can see

It was long ago you must remember

You were once as young and scared as me

I don't know how hard it is yet mamma

When you relaize you're growning old

I know how hard is not to be younger

I know you've tried to keep me from the cold

Thanks for all you done it may sound hollow

Thank you for the good times that we've known

But I must find my own road now to follow

You will all be welcome in my home

Got my suitacse I must go now

I don't mind about the things you said

I'm sorry Mom I don't know where I'm going

Remember little sister look ahead

Tomorrow I'll be in some other sunrise

Maybe I'll have someone at my side

Mamma give your love back to your husband

Father you've have taught we well goodbye

Goodbye Mamma goodbye to you too pa
