Farewell, God Bless You, Goodbye Lyrics - Prairieography - Del Barber

There's pigeons living on a window sill 

I think I've finally had my fill 

It's time to give this city my goodbye 

There's only so much money a man can lose 

Aching that his reasons will turn to proof 

That someday love might not leave me dry 

Tell me friend can you hear me howl 

I'm on the highway with a crooked smile 

You know I'm looking for the starry sky 

Farewell, God bless you, goodbye 

I headed north with the winter wind 

Got an honest job working for a cattleman 

It seems that with his age he might need me some 

I think I'll stay here as long as I can 

But I know it's only a matter of when 

Maybe you could come and see me before that time
