You're putting on your brave face, packing up your bag

Plucking up the courage you didn't know you had

The Demons and the doubters are fighting in your head

But they'll go quiet when you knock 'em dead



So long my old friend

Hope we get to laugh again

So long my old friend

Show them what you're made of



So go and follow your way and I will follow mine

Take it to the limit but don't ever cross the line

And write me when you get there, don't forget the kid

Though I would never blame you if you did



So long my old friend

Hope we get to laugh again

So long my old friend

Show them what you're made of



You're gonna get there, make no mistake

And I'd be so proud if you would take

A little piece of me wherever you may go



Let's not get sentimental, all broken up and sad

We both know we're not much good at that



So long my old friend

Hope we get to laugh again

So long my old friend

Go on, show them what you're made of

Show them what you're made of
