Independence Day

Well Papa go to bed now, it's gettin' late
Nothin' we can say is gonna change anything now
I'll be leaving in the mornign from St. Mary's gate
We wouldn't change this thing even 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

So say goodbye, it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day
All down the line
Just say goodbye, it's Independence Day
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

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 down to Breaker's Point
There's a lot of people leavin' town now
Leavin' their friends, their home
At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone

Well Papa, go to bed now, it's getting late
Nothin' we can say can change anything now
'Cause there's just different people comin' down here now
And they see things in different ways
And soon everything we've known
Will soon be swept away

So say goodbye, its' Independence Day
Papa, now i know the things you wanted
That you could not say
But won't you just say goodbye
It's Independence Day
I swear I never meant
To take those things away
