[Verse 1: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Now I've been feelin' sad and low
This heart of mine's been out on show
I've been abused and I've been used
I'm down and I now I'm out
And I can tell you now this party's at its end

[Verse 2: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Last night, this party showed me clear
That I'm not wanted around here
As I walked the streets at midnight
With a bottle to console my mind
I checked it out to leave this town behind

[Chorus: Johnny Tame, Peter Maffay & both]
Left my home on a holiday, yeah
Left my home, it's a goodbye day
Left it on the outward bound with the mornin' sun
Left my home on a holiday, yeah
Left my home, it's a goodbye day
And I'll only make a stop to meet the sun

[Verse 3: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
I have that feeling oncе again
But now it's fading, day begins
I'm worn out and empty inside
I'vе got to break the chain
And I can tell you now this party's at its end
[Chorus: Johnny Tame, Peter Maffay & both]
Left my home on a holiday, yeah
Left my home, it's a goodbye day
Left it on the outward bound with the mornin' sun
Left my home on a holiday, yeah
Left my home, it's a goodbye day
And I'll only make a stop to meet the sun

[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Johnny Tame, Peter Maffay & both]
Left my home on a holiday, yeah
Left my home, it's a goodbye day
And if I ever need to settle down
I wanna be sure of what I've really found
Then I'll only make a stop to meet the sun
