the goodbye song (©2006 Bob Stewart) I've been hanging around this town for some time now, they're telling me it's time to go They say everybody's got a field of their own to plow, everybody's got a field to sow They say everybody's got a place of their own in the sun, everybody's got a race to run They say that my race has just begun it's time to kick up my heals and run So goodbye mother and brother, goodbye friend and lover Tomorrow won't stay gone another day Goodbye teachers and preacher, I'm leaving my hometown bleachers I'm travelin' down a new highway I really shouldn't hold onto the past, but I’ll hold it as long as it lasts It's slowly fading into a dream It's too late for me to cry, but too soon to smile What will I do with these tears inside? It seems that yesterday is a friend who I'll never see again, her smile is all that I remember So goodbye today, you've been a friend but you've gone away You've turned into another of many other yesterdays
