"Goodbye Goodbye" lyrics

I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
To those good old days
Well, I believe I've been here long enough
There's no need for me to stay

I want to fly, to fly, to fly
On a DC-9
Well, I've been working all of my life
To buy myself a little time, I said

Well, I want to fly
Said my spirit's high
Here I'm at the gate
Claiming my life
You know it's not too late

To say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
To my next of kin
I've seen them working hard for many long years
You know they just can't win

I want to say goodbye, goodbye
To my loves and my friends
You know I would not lie

I want to say goodbye, goodbye
Oh, I'm gone, so long
You know I'm bound to fly

I said goodbye, my friends
Oh, I'm gone, so long
Come on, come on, come on now
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to my friends
