So, this is it
the end has come
an era has passed
we've had our fun

I just hope, forever
these memories will hold strong
after goodbyes are said
as we all move along

Goodbye my girl
know I loved you true
for keeping me here
with all the things you can do

No matter if icy cold
or sweltering, dripping heat
from everything I've learned from you
you're now, forever, apart of me

I don't know just where I'll end up
can't say if returning I'll ever be
though not the small town from which I was born
I'll think of you as fondly

So, best of luck, and well wishes
I hold you with me where ever I roam
my first adventure of independence
my home away from home
