Lyrics

Drink up your wine Dad,
Finish your glass,
I don't need to tell you
That this is your last.

Cross over the sea Dad,
We won't be there,
You might lose us forever,
That's your cross to bare.

I don't care what you think of my clothes anymore,
I don't care if we don't speak for 6 months or more,
I don't need your money, your gifts or your lies
So take yourself off to America, to America.

So let's smile our farewells Dad,
I can't look in your eyes.
So much for a future
That starts with goodbyes.

Go marry your new love,
Start a new family,
I'll try not to resent them
If you don't forget me.

I don't care what you think of my clothes anymore,
I don't care if we don't speak for 6 months or more,
I don't need your money, your gifts or your lies,
So take yourself off to America, to America.

I'm glad that you're gone Dad,
We're doing just fine.
We've picked up the pieces
And set them in line, again.

I don't care what you think of my clothes anymore,
I don't care if we don't speak for 6 months or more,
I don't need your money, your gifts or your lies,
So take yourself off, take yourself off,
So take yourself off to America. To America
