So Long
Moving around my daddy sold his cloth
Went to the south where things really took off
He didn't have a contract and they let him go
I heard times were tough, but I was too young to know
So, we went up North to find another line
But we wrote a tune it was a country song
Saying I'm not just moving out I'm moving on
So long dad so long you taught me right from wrong
Gave me a home where I could grow up strong
Always working hard so we could get along
Now you're gone so long dad so long
The years flew by like a bird in the sky
A moment we're here and then we disappear
And nobody knows what's going to be
I'll call you tomorrow we'll have to wait and see
So long dad so long you taught me right from wrong
Gave me a home where I could grow up strong
Always working hard so we could get along
Now you're gone so long dad so long
I sit and think about how much has been forgotten
Of childhood memories
And then the later years when we went back to Queens
Both of us chasing our dreams
Never really knew him for all the time we spent
Promised we'd travel we never went
Watching old movies singing old songs
He never said goodbye always said so long
So long dad so long you taught me right from wrong
Gave me a home where I could grow up strong
Always working hard so we could get along
Now you're gone so long dad so long
I won't say goodbye, I'll only say so long
