lyrics

What’s the latest outrage? Need you ask?
At too young an age an old friend passed
Why we never said goodbye
is no mystery – I just always wanted him here with me

What’s his old crew now supposed to do?
Has he told you how not to be blue
now and would he allow
this world to keep rotating even when its heart is breaking?

Goodbye, old friend, goodbye
You drove that inline six so fast, bet you though you could fly
Goodbye, old guy, goodbye
Won’t need aerodynamics up there in the sky

Goodbye, old friend, goodbye
Your healing heart lifted everybody up high
Goodbye, my guy, goodbye
I’m going to miss you every day until I die

Goodbye, old girl, old guy, goodbye
We’re all maintaining, not betraying your memory
Goodbye, family and friend, goodbye
We may never meet again but wasn’t it sweet my friend?
Everybody, goodbye!
