Goodbye
I hope we meet again
Goodbye
Is this how it’s got to end
But we’ve come to the end of our road together
Made a stand that’s gonna last forever
Brother tell me what you’re gonna do

Will you take the high road
Will you take the low road
Will you take the fast train out of town
To get back home

Will you take the high road
Will you take the low road
Oh brother
You’re out on your own

Goodbye
Is this how it’s got to be
Call by we can rap over tea
We’ve come to the end of our road together
Made a stand that’s gonna last forever
Brother won’t you tell me what you’re gonna do

Will you take the high road
Will you take the low road
Will you take the fast train out of town
To get back home

Will you take the high road
Will you take the low road
Oh brother, now that you’re out on your own

We learned a lot from each other
That’s how we came to be brothers
Brother won’t you tell me what your problem is
Oh and
Don’t waste your time on hate
Can be used in better ways
Remember the time and better days

Goodbye
I hope we meet again
But the good times
Will always remain
But we’ve come to the end
Of our road together
We made a stand that’s gonna last forever
Brother tell me what you’re gonna do

Will you take the high road
Will you take the low road
Will you take the fast train out of town
To get back home
Will you take the high road
Will you take the low road
Oh you’re out on your own

Now will you take the high road
Or will you take the low road
The fast train out of town
To get back home

Will you take the high road
Will you take the low road
Oh brother you’re out on your own
Out on your own
Out on your own
Out on your own

About Lyrics and Goodbye by Free

When you decide to study the lyrics to Goodbye, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1972 song by Free. Some of the lyrics to Goodbye have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Free and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Goodbye if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Goodbye" means the words set to the music of Goodbye, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Free. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Goodbye and the lyrics to Goodbye are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Free who came here looking just for the lyrics to Goodbye, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
