Well Papa go to bed now it's getting lateNothing we can say is gonna change anything nowI'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's GateWe wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow`Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of usThere's a darkness in this town that's got us tooBut they can't touch me now and you can't touch me nowThey ain't gonna do to me what I watched them do to youSo say goodbye it's Independence DayIt's Independence Day all down the lineJust say goodbye it's Independence DayIt's Independence Day this timeNow I don't know what it always was with usWe chose the words and yeah we drew the linesThere was just no way this house could hold the two of usI guess that we were just too much of the same kindWell say goodbye it's Independence DayAll boys must run away come Independence DaySo say goodbye it's Independence DayAll men must make their way come Independence DayNow the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's jointAnd the highway she's deserted down to Breaker's PointThere's a lot of people leaving town nowLeaving their friends their homesAt night they walk that dark and dusty highway all aloneWell Papa go to bed now it's getting lateNothing we can say can change anything nowBecause there's just different people coming down here nowAnd they see things in different waysAnd soon everything we've known will just be swept awaySo say goodbye it's Independence DayPapa now I know the things you wanted that you could not sayBut won't you just say goodbye it's Independence DayI swear I never meant to take those things away
