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 Got a thousand sweaters and shoes and paintings to hide 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, unloveed 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 ten years aged I've got some baubles 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)
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 you I don't got no religion Isn't that something I'll miss those days
But he said, "Slow down, slow down Think it over, we've all got wretched closets Silly girl, pride kills more than aids Lately." I said, "Come on I've thought it over, I Don't wanna die here, I have 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 forget what I said (I'll find my way) Please forget my letter Every night I pray for you I don't got a religion Isn't that something I'll miss those days
I, I'm not going halfway (I'll find my way) I, I Every night I pray for you Don't believe in heaven Or that it could be a happy place I, I'm going away
