lyrics

I think it's time we face the facts
I think it's time we packed our bags
I think it's time we start our lives
Somewhere else

I think it's time we settled down
I think it's time we left this town
Just take the street signs west and then head north
Dodge a speed trap and you're gone

But one more time before we go away
Let's take the time and let's spend the day
Taking one more pass through all these streets
Before they don't belong to us no more

So, bon voyage
Goodnight, goodbye
Bon voyage
I'll miss you 'til you're back here
I'll miss you 'til you're back here with me

I always knew you'd get your dream
And you'd follow a road that leads a long, long way from here
I always knew that once we moved away
We'd never live in the same town again

'Cause you're the big city lights
Or the wheels of a tour bus driving
Yeah, you're a rolling stone
And I'm the type to put down roots and stay

Bon voyage
Goodnight, goodbye
Bon voyage
I'll miss you 'til you're back here
I'll miss you 'til you're back here with me

And sometime in the evening when you're sitting on your porch
Having a beer and just reflecting as the sun arcs toward the shore
I hope you think of me and all the times we had way back before
Singing songs until our voices couldn't sing songs anymore

And if you're lonely and you're homesick and you need to reminisce
About our college days, the classes and rehearsals that we missed
'Cause we were sitting in the café throwing burgers at the wall
You can ring me up and trust that I won't mind the long distance call

And if you're hearing this through headphones as you're sitting on a flight
Take a look out of the window through the clouds of London skies
And try to hear the bells of Big Ben floating out along the wind
And remember not to forget the brothers we have been

And maybe in a few years, you'll find a way back
But if you never come home, I think we'll all understand
And I'll toast to you and think back at it all once again
So hard to say goodbye to one of my best friends
