  • I'm saying goodbye to the skyline
    Hello to the sweet pines
    Gonna see you later street lights
    I'm headed back to tree lines
    To free time and starry nights
    To bonfires and fire flies
    Pack your bags it's time to go
    'Cause we got brighter lights back home

    I've got aching feet
    From walking over miles of concrete
    And I can't wait to dream
    But the city, you know she won't go to sleep
    So I'm saying

    Goodbye to the skyline
    Hello to the sweet pines
    Gonna see you later street lights
    I'm headed back to tree lines
    To free time and starry nights
    To bonfires and fire flies
    Pack your bags it's time to go
    'Cause we got brighter lights back home
    Yeah, we got brighter lights

    Back home there's a girl named Mary Lou
    A diner off the highway with a corner booth
    And every gravel road is a trip down memory lane
    And back home, where the corn grows ten feet tall
    Every year's measured on the pantry wall
    The willow trees are waving 'til we come back home again

    I'm saying goodbye to the skyline
    Hello to the sweet pines
    Gonna see you later street lights
    I'm headed back to tree lines
    To free time and starry nights
    To bonfires and fire flies
    Pack your bags it's time to go
    Pack your bags it's time to go

    I'm saying goodbye to the skyline
    Hello to the sweet pines
    Gonna see you later street lights
    I'm headed back to tree lines
    To free time and starry nights
    To bonfires and fire flies
    Pack your bags it's time to go
    Pack your bags it's time to go
    'Cause we got brighter lights back home Writer/s: ADAM R. YOUNG, EMILY MEREDITH WRIGHT, MATTHEW ARNOLD THIESSEN
