Goodbye Old Buddies
From the albums GET CLOSER (1976) and THE SEALS & CROFTS COLLECTION (1979)

Where it started, can't even remember, just one day you were there
Funny little girl in your tied-dyes and cutoffs, wondering who you were
Well I was gonna blow you clear down to Miami with my cool and social art
But I ended up awkward and I guess in the struggle I must have lost my heart
So goodbye old buddies, and goodbye runnin' wild
I'm makin' some room for a certain young lady, and I guess she's gonna stay awhile

Walks in the country, sleepin' bag weekends, and fumblin' in the night
Now look at me plannin' my life 'round this stranger, such a sorry sight
So goodbye old buddies, and goodbye runnin' wild
I'm makin' some room for a certain young lady, and I guess she's gonna stay awhile

Now here we sit in our only night bedroom, all legal and settled down
Talkin' 'bout light bills and diapers and t.v., and watchin' this world spin around
So goodbye old buddies, and goodbye runnin' wild
I'm makin' some room for a certain young lady, and I guess she's gonna stay
I guess she's gonna stay. She's gotten all moved in, for awhile
