One Last Time Video (MV)

Mister President, you asked to see me



I know you're busy



What do you need, sir



Sir

I wanna give you a word of warning



Sir, I don't know what you heard

But whatever it is, Jefferson started it



Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning



You're kidding



I need a favor



Whatever you say, sir, Jefferson will pay for this behavior



Shh, talk less



I'll use the press

I'll write under a pseudonym, you'll see what I can do to him



I need you to draft an address



Yes, he resigned, you can finally speak your mind



No, he's stepping down so he can run for President



Ha, good luck defeating you, sir



I'm stepping down, I'm not running for President



I'm sorry, what



One last time

Relax, have a drink with me

One last time

Let's take a break tonight

And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye

To say goodbye

You and I



No, sir, why



I wanna talk about neutrality



Sir, with Britain and France on the verge of war, is this the best time



I want to warn against partisan fighting



But



Pick up a pen, start writing

I wanna talk about what I have learned

The hard won wisdom I have earned



As far as the people are concerned

You have to serve, you could continue to serve



No, one last time

The people will hear from me

One last time

And if we get this right

We're gonna teach 'em how to say

Goodbye

You and I



Mister President, they will say you're weak



No, they will see we're strong



Your position is so unique



So I'll use it to move them along



Why do you have to say goodbye



If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on

It outlives me when I'm gone

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

I wanna 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



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

And 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



One last time



George Washington's going home



Teach 'em how to say goodbye



George Washington's going home



You and I



George Washington's going home



Going home



George Washington's going home



History has its eyes on you



George Washington's going home



We're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye (teach 'em how to say goodbye)



Teach 'em how



To say goodbye



To say goodbye (say goodbye)



Say goodbye (say goodbye)



One last time
