Oh, Columbo, Columbo
It's time for us to say goodbye
Hold your tears and don't you cry
Columbo, Columbo
I'll see you on the other side
We'll go for a sunset ride, you wait
Someday we’ll drive the world away
On the Pacific Coast Highway
Things come and go
So easily, like liberty
You meant more to me than somethin’ bought or sold
You were born in '81
Forty years and I’m the one
Who crashed you, under the settin' sun
But there you go
You will live on as a song on the stereo
Chorus:
Oh, Columbo, Columbo
It's time for us to say goodbye
Hold your tears and don't you cry
Columbo, Columbo
I’ll see you on the other side
We'll go for a sunset ride, you wait
Someday we'll drive the world away
On the Pacific Coast Highway
