So Long Ago (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]
My daddy sent me on to Baton Rouge in 1969[00:00:13]
He said our love was like a forest fire[00:00:20]
And he'd end it with a mind[00:00:24]
So you rode with us to Temple [00:00:27]
Texas where I did catch the train[00:00:30]
And I remember waving back at you[00:00:34]
From a silted window pane[00:00:38]
And I said Fare thee well true love of mine[00:00:41]
And I said Fare thee well sweet lips of wine[00:00:48]
And you said Fare thee well my Texas rose[00:00:55]
And then you blew a kiss of innocence[00:01:02]
As the trains began to roll so long ago[00:01:06]
You'd gone off to fight the war[00:01:24]
When I returned from school[00:01:26]
And I traded in my innocence[00:01:30]
When the springtime came to bloom[00:01:33]
And I married for my family [00:01:37]
One night I dreamed of you[00:01:40]
And you were running from me in the rain[00:01:44]
Down on Congress Avenue[00:01:48]
And I said Fare thee well true love of mine[00:01:51]
And I said Fare thee well sweet lips of wine[00:01:58]
And you said Fare thee well my Texas rose[00:02:05]
And then you blew a kiss of innocence[00:02:12]
As the trains began to roll so long ago[00:02:16]
Now I saw you once in a crowded bar[00:02:34]
And it was Christmas time[00:02:37]
I was frightened by the thunder[00:02:41]
Of our hearts in '69[00:02:43]
Because I live my life in whispers now[00:02:47]
And I choose to live alone[00:02:51]
So I slipped back to the avenue[00:02:54]
And flipped my collar to the cold[00:02:58]
And I said Fare thee well true love of mine[00:03:01]
And I said Fare thee well sweet lips of wine[00:03:08]
And you said Fare thee well my Texas rose[00:03:15]
And then you blew a kiss of innocence[00:03:22]
As the trains began to roll so long ago[00:03:26]
Where did we go [00:03:36]
That long ago so long ago[00:03:43]
