Lyrics
Wher ev er you’re go ing,

Wher ev er you’re head ing can you (C)let me know.

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,

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

But I know.
Fare well,

Fare well,

And I’m gon na try to hold it all in,
