[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I saved that bottle
It's now ten 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 pa**enger seat
By the postcards you gave (Don't know where I'm going)
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
But he said, "Slow down, slow down
Think it over, we've all got wretched closets
But silly girl pride k**s 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 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
