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
