[Chorus]
Bye, goodbye
I'm leavin' in the mornin'
I'm goin'
Ma, don't cry, good things on the horizon
I'm shinin'
Bye, goodbye
I'm leavin' in the mornin'
I'm goin'
Ma, don't cry, good things on the horizon
I'm shinin'

[Verse]
I miss your house
I miss always sneakin' out
I miss sleepin' on the couch
Oh, I miss my friends
But I've got this master plan
None of 'em could understand
Yeah, I miss you too
Still feel like I left too soon
I had dreams like all kids do
Yeah, I miss myself
I miss who I was back then
I miss my friend Mr. Man
But I had to go
Sometimes when you know, you know
Guess it's painful when you grow
But I'll take the pain
By myself, I stand the rain
Waitin' for the sun to glow
I want to say, "Thanks"
Thanks He made me who I am
I'll pay you back when I can
Yeah, when I tell you, "Mama, I made it"
I'ma tell you, "Mama, I made it"
It sounds so good when I say it
Now I see the look on your face, yeah
When you see that I wasn't playin'
[Chorus]
Bye (Bye-bye, I'll see you in a few weeks), goodbye
I'm leavin' in the mornin'
I'm goin'
Ma, don't cry, good things on the horizon
I'm shinin'
Bye, goodbye
I'm leavin' in the mornin'
I'm goin'
Ma, don't cry, good things on the horizon
I'm shinin'
Bye, goodbye
I'm leavin' in the mornin'
I'm goin'
Ma, don't cry, good things on the horizon
I'm shinin'
