Fare Thee Well

FARE THEE WELL
By Benjamin Dakota Rogers

I’ve heard stories from the north /
Oh whisky words from the night I was born /
And when I was young was when I learned /
Oh to live is to love but to love is to burn /

So don’t you blame yourself for what others do to you dear /
You better know where you stand if you’re coming around here /
‘Cause you cut the ties so I hopped the track /
And though you might call me I ain’t never coming back /

Fare thee well /
True love of mine /
Though I let you go /
Hope you’ll always know /
You’re the love of my life /
Remember me well /
True love of mine /
But if she calls don’t send her my way /
Because I’m headed for the highway /
And I’m almost out of sight /

And I don’t want to know what comes after you’re gone /
‘Cause that thought holds me and it haunts me keeps me rambling on /
And I know there selling something that will make it alright
But I’ll stick to highways and railcars and singing all night

So fare thee well /
True love of mine /
Though I let you go /
Hope you’ll always know /
You’re the love of my life /
And remember me well /
Oh true love of mine /
But if she calls don’t send her my way /
‘Cause I’m headed for the highway /
And I’m almost out of sight /

Fare thee well /
True love of mine /
Though I let you go /
Hope you’ll always know /
You’re the love of my life /
And remember me well /
Oh true love of mine /
But if she calls don’t send her my way /
‘Cause I’m headed for the highway /
And I’m almost out of sight
