Josh Rister - Farewell, Lexington
00
Copied!
(Verse 1)
I won’t pretend (I won’t pretend)
That you felt like home sweet home
Yes, there were times (There were times)
When I felt all alone
But you kept me warm
And kept me well
As best as you could do (You could do)
Oh farewell, Lexington
My time with you is through
(Verse 2)
I left my home (I left my home)
Lewis County, on the river
I came alone (I came alone)
Through the cold I did shiver
But I can’t say
I tried my best
To give you a fair shot (A fair shot)
Lord knows that I’m a stubborn man
And you gave it all you got
(Verse 3)
Your city streets (Your city streets)
Remind me of the river
Your many towers (Many towers)
They remind me of those hills
But half as green
And half as warm
It ain’t your fault that you’re not them (You’re not them)
So farewell, Lexington
Till I see you again
I won’t pretend (I won’t pretend)
That you felt like home sweet home
Yes, there were times (There were times)
When I felt all alone
But you kept me warm
And kept me well
As best as you could do (You could do)
Oh farewell, Lexington
My time with you is through
(Verse 2)
I left my home (I left my home)
Lewis County, on the river
I came alone (I came alone)
Through the cold I did shiver
But I can’t say
I tried my best
To give you a fair shot (A fair shot)
Lord knows that I’m a stubborn man
And you gave it all you got
(Verse 3)
Your city streets (Your city streets)
Remind me of the river
Your many towers (Many towers)
They remind me of those hills
But half as green
And half as warm
It ain’t your fault that you’re not them (You’re not them)
So farewell, Lexington
Till I see you again
