I got day drunk and watched as my city got younger The front steps of fort lofts across from the theatre Where i was a contender, none of that matters The kids have new heroes and new dreams to get shattered I wouldn't change a thing about the way it went down 16 years of memories built on a town That nobody will know just how a cool kid could drown In a pool of his own hype and beer Goodbye, goodbye It's the most perfect time and the weather is perfection To watch as my father battles an infection My life in the dark in now bright as reflection The store window he worked '77 Millions of snapshots will shoot through my brain Push through the dark like that underground train Just as real as the blood pumping fast through my veins Just as real as i'm standing here Goodbye, goodbye (x2)
