Nanci Griffith
Fare Thee Well
[Verse 1]
There you go down that road again
Saying all those things you said you'd never say again
Dreaming all those dreams you can never grasp
Asking all those questions you should never ask
[Chorus]
Oh, and say so long, fare thee well, I wish you well
Oh, and good goodbye, fare thee well, I wish you well
I wish you well as you leave on your journey
And as you leave if you think of returning
Oh, remember me
[Verse 2]
You are young, in your prime, and yet old enough to see
Not too many take you seriously
Tell you not to question all that you're told
There'll be time enough for that when you'll be getting old
[Chorus]
Oh, and say so long, fare thee well, I wish you well
Oh, and good goodbye, fare thee well, I wish you well
I wish you well as you leave on your journey
And as you leave if you think of returning
Oh, remember me
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
And they say you're not old enough to be in love
Money is the only thing dreams are truly made of
Save yourself, save your wealth for when you get old
'Cause this rat-race town is going to claim your soul
[Chorus]
Say so long, fare thee well, I wish you well
Oh, and good goodbye, fare thee well, I wish you well
I wish you well as you leave on your journey
And when you leave if you think of returning
Oh, remember me
Oh, and say so long, fare thee well, I wish you well
Oh, and good goodbye, fare thee well, I wish you well
I wish you well as you leave on your journey
When you leave if you think of returning
Oh, remember me
