I've Seen It Go Away

[Verse 1] I seen 'em when they stepped down on the moon I seen 'em sail around the world in a hot balloon I've seen many a great tomorrow turn to yesterday I've seen 'em, boys, and I've seen it go away I've seen my share of good times come and go I seen Bob Wills and Elvis when they did a show When you've seen the very best, the rest can't hardly play I've seen it, girls, and I've seen it go away [Chorus] I've seen it in it's pride and all it's glory I've seen it through the bars on a dark and stormy day I've seen it from on high, through the tears I had to cry The sad part is, I've seen it go away [Verse 2] I watched it all completely fall apart And I seen our greatest leader break the people's heart I've seen most of what we got have a whole lot better day I've seen it, kids, and I've seen it go away [Chorus]
