Independance Day - Bruce Springsteen

Well Papa go to bed now it’s getting late

Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now

I’ll be leaving in the morning 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 leaving town now

Leaving their friends, their homes

At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone

Well Papa go to bed now it’s getting late

Nothing we can say can change anything now

Because there’s just different people coming down here now

and they see things in different ways

And soon everything we’ve known will just be swept away

So say goodbye it’s 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
