Go on back home Find your way, don't be alone You've done your best Now it's time to give up the day To the younger set who don't need to rest Throughout the day There's no room for you to grow We've planted all we need to sow Your time has come to move aside For sharper eyes Sturdy bones, muscle tone And a keener mind Think of it as time well spun You gave yourself and now you're done You didn't think you'd last forever, did you? Don't try so hard, it's not becoming of you now You were all those things Bright with color and with strength to last For many years we stayed Loyal and we'll embrace your past You oughta take a drive upstate Find a place to contemplate We move along at lightning speed You can't keep up, there is no need Take the step and move aside Give in to a quiet life Dig the hole, lie down and wait We spinned too fast and died too late Go on home Back home You've done your best Go on home Back home You've done your best Go on home Back home You've done your best
