Remember the weight of the world?
It's a sound that we used to buy
On cassette and 45
And now this little girl
She says, "Will we make it at all?
800 miles is a drive"

Yeah, you got the weight of the world
Coming down like a mother's eye
And all that you can
All that you can give is a cold goodbye
The law enforcement's impressed
You've survived to this age
Strapped-up soldiers
They'll lock you in a cage without goodbye
For a nickel bribe

But, aw, no, where are you tonight?
And how'd we get here?
It's too late to break it off
I need a release
The signals have called
But that don't get me off
I summon you to appear, my love

Uh-huh
Mm, uh-huh

Got the weight of the world
I summon you here, my love

Na-na
Na-na, uh-huh

The signals have called
But that don't get me off
I summon you here, my love

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, bye
Ooh-hoo
