Goodbye Old Buddies lyrics

(lyrics and music by Parker McGee, 1975)
From the albums GET CLOSER (1976) and THE SEALS & CROFTS COLLECTION (1979).

Where it started, can`t even remember, just one day you were there.
Funny little girl in your tied-dyes and cutoffs, wondering who you were.
Well I was gonna blow you clear down to Miami with my cool and social art.
But I ended up awkward and I guess in the struggle I must have lost my heart.
So goodbye old buddies, and goodbye runnin` wild.
I`m makin` some room for a certain young lady, and I guess she`s gonna stay awhile.

Walks in the country, sleepin` bag weekends, and fumblin` in the night.
Now look at me plannin` my life `round this stranger, such a sorry sight.
So goodbye old buddies, and goodbye runnin` wild.
I`m makin` some room for a certain young lady, and I guess she`s gonna stay awhile.

Now here we sit in our only night bedroom, all legal and settled down.
Talkin` `bout light bills and diapers and t.v., and watchin` this world spin around.
So goodbye old buddies, and goodbye runnin` wild.
I`m makin` some room for a certain young lady, and I guess she`s gonna stay,
I guess she`s gonna stay. She`s gotten all moved in, for awhile.
