Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

We packed it up to say goodbye

So many questions I wonder why

This great display, to show the world

who is right or wrong

It’s not enough for me to go

Let’s take our bow and end the show

With our American grandstand goodbye

Our selfish angry hateful ways

Prepared the story and set the stage

For the performance

to play the fool you love so well

The final show is advertised

With both our names there up in lights

For our American Grandstand Goodbye

Instrumental Break

The lights are up The music down

The lines are drawn I’m just your Clown

My tears are real You crushed my heart

into the ground

Our love is gone it’s clear to see

We’re here to show our friends and leave

With our American Grandstand Goodbye

Our selfish angry hateful ways

Prepare the story and set the stage

For the performance To Play a fool

you love so well

The final show is advertised

With both our names there up in lights

For our American Grandstand Goodbye

Bridge

Our American Grandstand

Goodbye

(Goodbye)

Goodbye
