lyrics

Goodbye my friend, it’s time to go
Time to move on down the road
Played them tunes all through the night
It's time to greet the morning light
That light can disinfect the soul
For a busted back and a heavy load
With taxes paid to debtors owed
Goodbye my friend, it’s time to go

Goodbye buddy, adios
I still remember being close
But fault lines shift and feelings change
I’m not sure what got rearranged
I know adulation can turn green
When friendship crumbles underneath
All you're left with is a ghost
Goodbye my friend and adios

Goodbye, I guess, it's hard to know
Am I leavin' town or going home
I guess it wasn’t what it seemed
So much for idealistic dreams
Age is cursed by rain and wind
And time can make the river bend
All them years but what the hell
I hope you know I wish you well

Goodbye for now, I gots to go
Let's raise a glass and drink a toast
The trail just faded out of view
I'm not sure what more I could do
Old wounds can heal as time goes by
And hope commands a second try
But some folks shrink while others grow
So goodbye friend, it's time to go

Break on through the other side
Goodbye my friend it's time to ride
