I'd knock on the door to see my mother
And thank her for raising me right
I'd pick up the phone and call all my old lovers
Tell them there's no need to fight

What would I do? What would I do?
I wouldn't care about the change in my pocket
I wouldn't worry about the bills that I owe
When I close that door, I'm not gonna lock it
I've gotta go, I've gotta go

Bye bye, baby so long
Turn out the lights, it's alright to be gone
So long I'm going away
That's what I'd do with my very last day

I'd call my best friend and give him my best
I fill up the tank and just keep on heading west
Spend my evening chasing the sun
I'm thinking back, thinking back on the races we've run

Bye bye, baby so long
Turn out the lights, it's alright to be gone
So long I'm going away
That's what I'd do with my very last day

Bye-bye, bye-bye

I'd take a walk by the Saint John river
And let my memories drift downstream
I'd take a deep breath and try to remember
Life is but a dream, life is but a dream

Bye bye, baby so long
Turn out the lights, it's alright to be gone
So long I'm going away
That's what I'd do with my very last day

Bye bye, baby so long
Turn out the lights, it's alright to be gone
So long I'm going away
That's what I'd do with my very last day

My very last day
Bye-bye, bye-bye...
