She was sitting on the floor of her newly cleaned room
Her momma helped her put away the clothes
Cryin' on her guitar, she picked it up to sing
But couldn't seem to muster a note

She said, "please don't make me go,"
Prayin' "what do I do?"
I don't wanna leave
But I know I have to

It'll be hard to leave the sand and the ocean blue
Hard to bid farewell to the home I grew up in, learned to be tough in
It'll be sad to leave the folks, every one of them
Hard to grow up gracefully in front of them
Easy to miss this family of mine
It'll be hard to say goodbye.

She treasured every moment, made friends and memories
And tried to make the most of her time
She learned how to let go, took photographs and recipes
And hel back most her tears, to spare her eyes

Her brothers gave her grief
But for what it's worth, she did the same
'Cause she knew they'd hold her tight
When she made it back home one day

It'll be hard to leave the sand and the ocean blue
Hard to bid farewell to the home I grew up in, learned to be tough in
Yeah it'll be sad to leave the folks, every one of them
Hard to grow up gracefully in front of them
Easy to miss this family of mine
It'll be hard to say goodbye

And hello to this whole new life and winding road
With no directions and no companions
It'll be hard to say goodbye

Finally the day came, they had to drive all the way there
She closed the last brown box and tucked away her teddy bear
She hugged her momma tight, who put her hair behind her ear
She said, "don't be scared my darlin' you've nothing to fear"

I know it won't be all that bad
I'm sure that I'll be alright
I won't forget you, Mom and Dad
But man it's hard to say goodbye

It's hard to leave the sand and the ocean blue
Hard to bid farewell to the home I grew up in, learned to love in
It'll really be sad to leave the folks, every one right
Hard to grow up gracefully without them
Easy to miss this family of mine
Man, it's hard to say goodbye

So hard to say goodbye
It's hard to say goodbye
