The train's headlight cuts through the night like a knife I know that it's right to be joining the fight, to help my country survive If only we could agree on a way of life But I guess that's common… yeah, it is It's been a month since the army came to Bedford Falls They hung an air raid siren, began their hiring with some posters in the town hall I said I'd never held a gun, didn't know much at all They said that's common… it's much too common Where would we be, refusing to fight? A bombed-out village in the middle of the night I've never left this town before But goodbye Bedford Falls, hello war Billy Mann has a farm on the edge of town He can grow anything to be fit for the King, but he can't put that bottle down Since his two sons died, he's had his share of sorrow to drown But I guess that's common… yeah, it is Susie Morro has a job at the general store There's a room in the back, where her little boy Jack is playing soldiers at ten to four She's got a husband on a foreign shore Around here, that's common… it's much too common Where would we be, refusing to fight? A bombed-out village in the middle of the night What did we do, to deserve this cause? We're just part of a race with some pretty big flaws I'm not asking what it's all for But goodbye Bedford Falls Goodbye Bedford Falls, hello war There's a message headed home to Bedford Falls Susie's husband died while his beautiful bride taught their son to catch a ball He won't remember his father much at all But I guess that's common… it's much too common Where would we be, refusing to fight? A bombed-out village in the middle of the night What did we do, to deserve this cause? We're just part of a race with some pretty big flaws Will the world remember the lives we give Or the endless pain of the ones who still live? If ever there was a town worth dying for It's home in Bedford Falls, good old Bedford Falls So goodbye Bedford Falls, hello war
