Bruce Springsteen - 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

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
I swear I never meant to
Take those things away
