[Verse 1]
I'm just gonna fade away
Can't stay here if I wanna stay sane
Guess I'm leavin' down those streets of gold
All turned to rust as I grew old
[Verse 2]
She don't wanna be a background girl
Says she's ready for the big ol' world
Well her daddy says, "Get you a CPA
Little darlin', you've got bill's to pay"
[Chorus]
But she don't wanna fade away
No, she don't wanna fade away
[Verse 3]
Baby, lets get out of Abilene
'Cause we both know there ain't a goddamn thing
Left for us we can't find
Out there between the highway lines
[Chorus]
Yeah, we, we're gonna fadе away
Yeah, we, we'rе gonna fade away
[Bridge]
Come on, baby, kiss your mama goodbye
Leavin' here is worth the tears she'll cry
'Cause this ain't where they're gonna dig my grave
'Cause I ain't gonna fade away
[Outro]
Meet me out on Highway 84
Between the fillin' station and the liquor store
Pack your bags a little heavy this time
We'll go see what we can find
