lyrics

well, Last night i said goodbye to all my friends and said im leaving,
armed with my guitar and not much else...
12 bucks in my pocket and a maxxed out visa card...
i grabbed a glass and i drank to their good health.
I explained i had to go not much could keep me here
this town and i werent seeing eye to eye
sick of working 9 to 5 but still increasing debt
but id miss the girl i knew whos eyes could light up april skies

the happiness and hope faded away
on that dark and miserable september day
all that was left was a person with no real will to sing
so goodbuy to all my friends I'll make sure we'll meet again
a diferent time a diferent place to one we know
dont know where im going and i dont know where i'll end up
but you'll never be forgotten because every song i sing i sing for you

to scared to fly to fat to swim im out here on my own
heading to a place where i can breath
still singing songs about booze and drugs
girls old friends and fights with thugs
im always left with broken bones and a feeling of regret

the happiness and hope faded away
on that dark and miserable september day
all that was left was a person with no real will to sing

so goodbuy to all my friends I'll make sure we'll meet again
a diferent time a diferent place to one we know
dont know where im going and i dont know where i'll end up
but you'll never be forgotten because every song i sing i sing for you

They’ve done it again. The Smith Street Band make great records. Different enough to be interesting, familiar enough to be fun. Phenomenal. Alan Adkins
