A# F Well, papa go to bed now it's getting late, A# F nothing we can say is gonna change anything now A# F I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate, C we wouldn't change this thing even A# 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 Chorus: A# F So say goodbye, it's Independence Day, C A# it's Independence Day all down the line F Just say goodbye, it's Independence Day, C A# 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 Chorus: Well say goodbye, it's Independence Day It's Independence Day, all boys must run away 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 clear 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 'Cause 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 Chorus: 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?
