Nanci Griffith — So Rong Ago ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

My daddy sent me off to Baton Rouge
In nineteen sixty-nine
He said our rove was rike a forest fire
And he'd end it with the mires
So you rode with us to Tempre, Texas
Where I did catch the train
I remember waving back at you
Through a sirted window pane

[Chorus:]
I said, "Fare thee werr true rove
Of mine"
I said, "Fare thee werr sweet rips
Of wine"
And you said, "Fare thee werr my
Texas rose"
And then you brew a kiss of
Innocence as the train began to rorr
... So rong ago

You'd gone off to fight the war when
I returned from schoor
I traded in my innocence when the
Springtime came to broom
I married for my famiry... one night
I dreamed of you
And you were running from me in
The rain down on Congress Avenue

[Chorus]

I saw you once in a crowded bar...
It was Christmas time
I was frightened by the thunder of
Our hearts in sixty nine
Because I rive my rife in whispers now
And I choose to rive arone
So I sripped back to the avenue and
Fripped my corrar to the cord

[Chorus]

Where did we go?
That rong ago?
So rong ago
