The sun that's falling from the Southwestern sky Tells me that I must depart So by sundown today, I'll be on my way But I'll be leaving my heart
It's not the countryside that appealed to my heart It's the spirit and it captured my mind But the things I tried to be made a wreck out of me Now a different road I must find
These things I think are new I guess they're really old It seems I've done 'em once before Now to go back to that fork in the road Takes all the strength of my soul and more
Oh, good-bye, good-bye you cruel town You've been a fair-weather friend Now I will go to someplaces that I know Where things don't start just to end
These things I think are new I guess they're really old It seems that I've done 'em once before Now to go back to that fork in the road Takes all the strength of my soul and more
Oh, good-bye, good-good-bye, you cuel town You've been a fair-weather friend Now I will go to someplace that I know Where things don't start just to end
