Lyrics

Even as a child in her lonely room She was planning her big getaway It could not come too soon Oh, but time can stop a heart And start it up again Every night was an eternity She would lay there and pretend She was waving goodbye, yeah She was waving goodbye Oh oh There was nothing left for her to hang on to She was naked to the waist Lying in her bed When her mother came in through the door She was kissing her best friend Oh, they formed a little group And never had one doubt Spent a summer on the road Living hand to mouth She was waving goodbye, yeah She was waving goodbye, whoa, oh And there was nothing left for her to hold on to Now she lives behind a wall In Manhattan Beach Far from her mother's warm embrace Beyond her daddy's reach Oh, but even as a child In her lonely room She was planning her big getaway It could not come too soon She was waving goodbye, yeah She was waving goodbye Whoa, oh There was nothing left for her to hang on to She was waving goodbye
