Goodbye Philadelphia

Just like Philadelphia

Freedom means a lot to me

In between the place I've been

And where I'm goin'

I can see America

Tryin' not to show her age

Even though the winds of change

Keep on blowin'

And I would lay your body down

And rock your tears away

But it's much too late for now

To be like yesterday

And the time is running out

And we still have to say

Goodbye

Remember Philadelphia

When the world was young and warm

So in love and living for

Everything new

But I know Philadelphia

The winter wind will slowly take

Your heart and soul until it makes

Nothing of you

And I would lay your body down

And rock your tears away

But it's much too late for now

To be like yesterday

And the time is running out

And we still have to say

Goodbye

Flash a peace sign, take a bow

Though we may not know it now

Things are never gonna be the same

Here on Seventh Avenue

I tip my old top hat to you

I hope you find somebody who

Will love you like I do

'Cause I would lay your body down

And rock your tears away

But it's much too late for now

To be like yesterday

And the time is running out

And we still have to say

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye Philadelphia
