It hurts To Say Goodbye

congratulations, you've got your
permanent residency
the pacific northwest is a
beautiful vacation destiny
she told me, "daddy,
Vancouver is my home
so good to see you but you know
I've got to go"
it hurts to say goodbye
it hurts to say goodbye
feathers ride on the wind
the bird was made to fly
it hurts to say goodbye
it's a land of legends,
graceland and rock & roll history
but it's dangerous down there
honey you know you
mean the world to me
she told me, "daddy, now
Memphis is my home
so good to see you but you know
I've got to go"
you've got a new team you're cheerin' for,
wearin' that cardinal red
remember how we played
"one hundred throws" and the
wise words I said
she told me, "daddy,
St. Louis is my home
so good to see you but the
time has come to go"
