Papa go to bed now it's getting late
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate
We wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow
`Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us
There's a darkness in this town that's got us too
But they can't touch me now and you can't touch me now
They ain't gonna do to me what I watched them do to you
So say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day all down the line
Just say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day this time
Now I don't know what it always was with us We chose the words and yeah we drew the lines There was just no way this house could hold the two of us I guess that we were just too much of the same kind
Well say goodbye it's Independence Day All boys must run away come Independence Day So say goodbye it's Independence Day All men must make their way come Independence Day
Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's joint And the highway she's deserted down to Breaker's Point There's a lot of people leaving town now Leaving their friends their homes At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone
Well Papa go to bed now it's getting late Nothing we can say can change anything now Because there's just different people coming down here now And they see things in different ways And soon everything we've known will just be swept away
So say goodbye it's Independence Day Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say But won't you just say goodbye it's Independence Day I swear I never meant to take those things away
