Rain is falling down my cheek searching for the sea
Tomorrow, like the rain, I'll be back home again
I watch the bus as it pulls out of view
Someday like that bus I will be leavin' too
But you know it breaks my heart to leave you
Camelback, my high school
And now alone cryin' in my beer
'Cause old friends said goodbye, I guess I'll be leavin' too
(But you know it breaks my heart) to leave you
Cortez (I'll miss you)
(Yes I will, yes I will, you know I will)
(Yes I will, yes I will, you know I will)
Well, so long (so long) everybody (everybody)
I hope that I would see you again (again)
Goodbye (goodbye) everybody (everybody)
I finally grew up, they finally let me outta school
Hey, remember the time, 'member the time
We took that snake and we, we put it down little Betsy's dress, ha
Now I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed
Now I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed
Well, I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed
Oh, goodbye (goodbye) everybody (everybody)
I hope that I would see you again (again)
So long (so long) everybody (everybody)
How do you like that (they finally let me outta school)
Goodbye (goodbye) ah, I wanna get outta here (so long)
They let me outta school, how 'bout that, huh (I'm gonna be gone out of school)
Goodbye, hey, goodbye guys
Maybe I'll see, maybe I'll see you around some time, huh?
Hey, don't make a stranger of yourself, huh, remember the Coop, huh?
May, I ho, I hope you don't forget me or nothin', goodbye
