Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like the scripture says
Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid
They'll be safe in the nation we've made
[Verse 2]
I want to sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we've made
One last time
(One last time)
One last time
(One last time)
[Verse 3]
For the nation we've loved and we've made
Say oh, oh, oh
We're gonna teach them how to say goodbye
Teach them how (One last time)
Ooh, one last time
[Verse 4]
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration
I am unconscious of intentional error
I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects
Not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors
I shall also carry with me
The hope that my country will
View them with indulgence
That after forty-five years of my life
Dedicated to its service with an upright zeal
The faults of incompetent abilities will be
Consigned to oblivion
As I myself must soon be
To the mansions of rest
I anticipate with pleasing expectation
That retreat in which I promise myself
To realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking
In the midst of my fellow-citizens
The benign influence of good laws
Under a free government
The ever-favorite object of my heart
And the happy reward, as I trust
Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers
[Verse 5]
One last time
(George Washington's going home)
Teach them how to say goodbye
(George Washington's going home)
You and I (He's going home)
Going home, yeah (He's going home)
[Verse 6]
I said, George (Washington) He's going (Going home)
History has its eyes on you (He's going)
Yes it does
[Verse 7]
Hey, we're gonna teach them how to say goodbye
Yes, we will, I said oh
One (One last time)
We're gonna teach them, teach them
How to say goodbye
Teach them to lead, oh
Teach them how to say goodbye, ooh
[Verse 8]
Teach them how to say goodbye
One last time
You and I
One last time
