Warm wind blows through the streets of this old townWrap you up just tight enough to keep you coming roundMemories and pictures flash around this old sceneFade off in flicker of times that have beenSo goodbye my darling, goodbye my old friendI don't mean to be the sentimental kindSaddled up this big oar and took it for a spinIt's been a damn good rideIt's been a damn good rideIt's been a damn good rideCrack that window every time I dry that breadLet those recollects come flooding inCause life is life and time ain't wrongThose days are gone, boy those days are goneGoodbye my darling, goodbye my old friendI don't mean to be the sentimental kindSaddled up this big oar and took it for a spinIt's been a damn good rideIt's been a damn good rideGoodbye my darling, goodbye my old friendFat broke, crackin' jokesCares and worries goin' up in smokeSittin' around this old houseStill as a rockin', quiet as a mouseGood old days gone awayHope and pray that heavenHeavenThis is real, it's real, it's realGoodbye my darling, goodbye my old friendI don't mean to hurt you, I don't mean to hurt youI don't mean to be the sentimental kindYou said I loved this big old world and took it for a spinIt's been a damn good rideIt's been a damn good rideIt's been a damn good rideIt's been a damn good rideIt's been a damn good ride
