lyrics

(Chorus) Goodbye American Molly
Goodbye Collinson Way
I've been up and down this road enough times to know
That if I stop I'm likely to stay
Say goodbye to the boys of Behringer County
And the Goudreau girls in their graves
Been a long time coming but if I had to say something
It'd be that there's nothing to say

Burning bush went out that night
The warmth died with the light
Gasped for breath til it was doused
By Father Wind, and Mother Cloud
That summer of love was all typhoon and storm
The air popped, thunder dropped and there I was
Just a babe up in the North

Parking lots, graves of sand
The white lines show the way
Brake at the buckle, turn at the light
Wonder if you're coming home tonight
Roll down your window, swim in the wind
Scream at the stars, ask where they were
Why papa wouldn't let you in

(Chorus)

Richard's got the time to call
Another year come and gone
This life lived up in the North
Can't be called a life at all
Trade the chains for an aeroplane
One way to Tokyo
Better that than a black flak jacket
That comes with the bullet holes

(Chorus 2X)

Been a long time coming
If I had to say something
And never you mind
I'm leaving here with nothing
Never going to stop
Never going to stay here
Be that there's nothing to say
