Please don't Cforget me, I'm going aEway 
I'm taDmking a taxi to Kentucky where tGhey don't need to know 
All aCbout me, I just need to Efeel safe 
Got a Dmthousand sweaters and shoes and paintings to Ghide 
FSkeletons in my bed 
Don't ask where I'm going 
I'm going Caway 
I'm going Emy way 
Finally it's Ammy time 
to be lonely, and lost, Funloveed and I cGan't wait 
Don't forget what I sCaid 
don't forget my Eletter 
every night I pray Amfor you 
I don't got no religion 
Isn't it that Fsomething 
I'll miss thoGse days, I
(This verse is a little different from the first)
I saved that Cbottle, it's now 10 yeEars aged 
I've got some Dmbibles I could sell for money 
And a Fpair of fresh shaved Glegs 
Won't you baby come Cwith me, I've got extrEa space 
 Dmor Am  
In my car, in my heart, in my mind 
FLook there's the passenger seat by Gthe postcards you gave (Don't know where i'm going) 
Same as first chorus)
I'm going away 
I'm going my way 
Finally it's my time 
to be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait 
Don't forget what I said 
don't forget my letter 
every night I pray you 
I don't got no religion 
Isn't that something 
I'll miss those days 
But he said "sloFw down, sloGw down 
Think it Amover, we've all got wretched closets 
CSilly girl, pride kills more than aids 
FLately" i said "Gcome on 
I've thought Amit over
I Don't wanna die here 
I have no dCesire to get married 
 F   G   Am   Cx2

no I must learn to race myself. 
(same chorus)
I'm going away 
I'm going my way 
Finally it's my time 
to be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait 
Please forget what I said (I'll find my way)
Please forget my letter 
every night I pray for you 
I don't got a religion 
Isn't that something 
I'll miss those days 
I, I'm not going halfway (i'll find my way) 
I, I 
every night I pray for you
dont believe in heaven 
or that it could be a happy place 
I, I'm going away
