I'm just gonna fade away I can't stay here if I wanna stay sane Guess I'll leave down those streets of gold All turned to rust as I grew old 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 darling you've got bills to pay But she, don't wanna fade away No, she don't wanna fade away So baby lets get out of Abilene Cause we both know there ain't a god damn thing Left for us that we can't find Out there between the highway lines Yeah we're, just gonna fade away Yeah we're, just gonna fade away Come on baby kiss your momma goodbye Leaving here is worth the tears she'll cry This ain't where their gonna dig my grave Cause I ain't gonna fade away Meet me out on highway 84 Between the filling station and the liquor store Pack your bags a little heavy this time We'll go see what we cant find
