Independence Day lyrics

• 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 clear 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

  Oh, papa, go to bed now, it's getting late
  Nothing we can say can change anything now
  'Cause 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
  I swear I never meant to take those things away
