Goodbye Girl

She's heading down the mountain
Footloose and fancy free
On her way to Boston where the city meets the sea
With nothing but a notion, she'd like to see the world
Sail around the ocean, gotta be a goodbye girl

Goodbye girl, got everything she needs
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl, she knows she's gonna be
A goodbye girl

Her mama used to tell her, "Don't rush to settle down
If you've got the urge for going, let it take you town to town
The world is your oyster, so you better find those pearls
You know we'll always love you, farewell and goodbye girl"

Goodbye girl, go chasing down a dream
Goodbye girl
Goodbye girl, you're always gonna be
My goodbye girl

You say you'd like to know her and she thinks you're alright
But she'll be a hundred miles from here this time tomorrow night
So if you'd like to join her, she'll take you for a whirl
But you gotta love the leaving when you're with a goodbye girl

Goodbye girl, nothing's guaranteed
With a goodbye girl
Goodbye girl, she's always gonna be
A goodbye girl

Goodbye girl
She's always gonna be a goodbye girl
