My daddy sent me on to Baton Rouge in 1969

He said our love was like a forest fire and he'd end it with a mind

So you rode with us to Temple, Texas where I did catch the train

And I remember waving back at you from a silted window pane



And I said,'Fare thee well true love of mine'

And I said, 'Fare thee well sweet lips of wine'

And you said, 'Fare thee well my Texas rose'

And then you blew a kiss of innocence

As the trains began to roll, so long ago



You'd gone off to fight the war when I returned from school

And I traded in my innocence when the springtime came to bloom

And I married for my family, one night I dreamed of you

And you were running from me in the rain down on Congress Avenue



And I said,'Fare thee well true love of mine'

And I said, 'Fare thee well sweet lips of wine'

And you said, 'Fare thee well my Texas rose'

And then you blew a kiss of innocence

As the trains began to roll, so long ago



Now I saw you once in a crowded bar and it was Christmas time

I was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in '69

Because I live my life in whispers now and I choose to live alone

So I slipped back to the avenue and flipped my collar to the cold



And I said,'Fare thee well true love of mine'

And I said, 'Fare thee well sweet lips of wine'

And you said, 'Fare thee well my Texas rose'

And then you blew a kiss of innocence

As the trains began to roll, so long ago



Where did we go?

That long ago, so long ago
