And when I've heard stories from the north And old whiskey words from the night I was born And when I was young, was when I learned Oh, to live is to love, but to love is to burn So, don't you blame yourself For what others do to you, dear You better know where you stand If you're comin' round here 'Cause you, cut the ties, so I hopped the track And though you might call me I ain't never comin' back So, fare thee well True love of mine 'Cause, though I let you go Hope you'll always know You're the love of my life Remember me well True love of mine But if she calls, don't send her my way 'Cause I'm headed for the highway And I'm almost out of sight And I don't wanna know What comes after you're gone 'Cause that thought holds me and it haunts me Keeps me ramblin' on And I know they're selling something, that'll make it alright But I'll stick to highways and railcars and singin' all night So, fare thee well True love of mine 'Cause though I let you go Hope you'll always know You're the love of my life And remember me well, oh True love of mine But if she calls, don't send her my way 'Cause I'm headed for the highway And I'm almost out of sight So, fare thee well True love of mine 'Cause though I let you go Hope you'll always know You're the love of my life And remember me well, oh True love of mine But, if she calls, don't send her my way 'Cause I'm headed for the highway And I'm almost out of sight
