Lyrics
Wher ev er you’re go ing,
I want to go.
Wher ev er you’re head ing can you (C)let me know.
I don’t mind catch ing up,
I’m on my way.
Just can’t take the thought of you (C)miles a way.
And I know you’re go ing some where to (Bm)make a bet ter life,
I hope that you find it (C)on the first try.
And e ven though it kills me (Bm)that you have to go,
I know I’ll be sad der if you (CN.C.)nev er hit the road.
So fare well.
Some bod y’s gon na miss you.
Fare well,
some bod y’s gon na wish that you were here,
that some bod y’s me.
I will write to tell you
what’s go ing on.
But you won’t miss noth ing but the (C)same old song.
If you don’t mind catch ing up,
I’ll spend the day
tell ing you sto ries a bout a (C)land far a way.
But I know.
Fare well,
some bod y’s gon na miss you.
Fare well,
some bod y’s gon na wish that you were here,
that some bod y’s me.
And I’m gon na try to hold it all in,
try to hold back my tears so it don’t make you stay here, yeah.
I’m a try to be a (Bm)big girl now, ’cause I don’t want to be the reas on you don’t leave.

Fare well,
some bod y’s gon na miss you.
Fare well,
some bod y’s gon na wish that you were here,
and that some bod y’s me.
