Please don’t forget me.
I’m going away.
I’m taking a taxi to Kentucky
where they don’t need to know all about me.
I just need to feel safe.
I’ve got a thousand sweaters and shoes
and paintings to hide the skeletons in my bed.
Don’t ask where I’m going.
I’m going away. I’m going my way.
Finally it’s my time to be lonely,
and lost, unloved and I can’t wait.
Don’t forget what I said. Don’t forget my letter.
Every night I pray for you. I don’t got no religion,
isn’t that something? I’ll miss those days.
I saved that bottle, it’s now 10 years aged.
I’ve got some bibles I could sell for money,
and a pair of fresh shaved legs.
Won’t you baby come with me?
I’ve got extra space, in my car, in my heart, in my mind,
look there’s the passenger seat by the postcards you gave.
(Don’t know where I’m going).
[Chorus]
But he said, “Slow down. Slow down.
Think it over. We’ve all got wretched closets,
but silly girl pride kills more than aids lately.”
I said, “Come on. I’ve thought it over. I don’t want to die here.
I’ve no desire to get married.”
I can’t race the others anymore.
No. I must learn to race myself.
I’m going away. I’m going my way.
Finally it’s my time to be lonely,
and lost, unloved and I can’t wait.
Please forgive what I said. Please forgive my letter.
(I’ll find my way).
Every night I pray for you, I don’t got no religion
isn’t that something I’ll miss those days.
I...I...I’m not going half way!
Every night I pray for you. Don’t believe in heaven.
Or that it could be a happy place. I’m going away.
THANK. YOU. I was reading this and shaking my head it was so bad. Sorry original poster, I don't mean to be rude really but it was really wrong. The site specifies that it wants you to make sure the lyrics are accurate.
