One can’t help but feel this song is a so-long to the Monkees and an expression of Nesmith’s resentment of his treatment as a product to sell rather than a musician himself.
The sun that's falling from the Southwestern sky
Tells me that I must depart
By sundown today, I'll be on my way
But I'll be leaving my heart
It's not the countryside that appealed to my eyes
It's the spirit that captured my mind
But the things I tried to be made a wreck out of me
Now a different road I must find
These things I think are new
I guess they're really old
It seems that I've done 'em all before
Now to go back to that fork in the road
Takes all the strength of my soul and more
Good-bye, good, good-bye cruel town
You've been a fair-weather friend
Now I will go to some place that I know
Where things don't start just to end
Ah, good-bye, good, good-bye, cruel town
You've been a fair-weather friend
Now I will go to some place that I know
Where things don't start just to end
