Fair Well Whiskey Lyrics - Singles - Down With Me

Back for a while in this hometown. 

I chose to trade that blackened grin in for this natural 

Luminescent frown. 

Things ain't as they seem in this old town. 

Beneath the golden shroud's a corpse I found left clinging to 

Dreams I could do without. 

So raise a glass with me of fair well whiskey. 

Hold your words, and tell me with your eyes how much you'll 

Miss me when I'm gone. 

I won't be here for long, I just can't stay. 

I really should be leaving town today. 

Tomorrow morning I'll be on my way. 

Goodbye to my folks, I'll miss you so. 

I hope you know how much I love the warmth of home, 

And its phosphorescent glow. 

Not that you know, cuz it just don't show. 

But that awkward kid is back again, and trapped within 

The guest room of your home. 

So raise a glass with me of fair well whiskey. 

A broken dance of awkward glances tells me that you'll 

Miss me when I'm gone. 

I won't be here for long, I just can't stay. 

I really should be leaving town today, 

Tomorrow morning I'll be on my way. 

Jarred awake, at 4 AM. 

Haunted memories floating through my head. 

A dirty comb brushes through my hair. 

I grab my bags, and tiptoe down the stairs 

A silent hand, a silent note. 

A final glance, a silent back door closed. 

I lock you in, then I'm gone 

A dirty glass remains, of fair well whiskey. 

Hold your head up, don't forget to smile although you miss me 

Since I've gone 

I wasn't there for long, I just couldn't stay. 

The time has come that I be on my way. 

Tomorrow came, and I left yesterday.
