So Long Lyrics

Oh, I have many pages in my book

And most of them left bare

They are waiting for their stories

And their songs I've yet to share

No I am not a gifted lass

But I am always learning fast

Traveling the world however vast

Tired of the welding

And the coal that stained my hands

I packed my things and now I sing

Of chasing life more grand

Me father's pride was working hard

But I was born to be a bard

Ignoring my head,

Following my heart

So long hated life of mine

I'm living in my prime

My days in tune and rhyme

So long fated destiny

I'm afraid it ain't for me

Afraid it ain't to be

I've yet the world to see

Oh, my backpack, aye it heavy

But I'm light upon my feet

Cause with every turning corner

My heart skips a beat

Tell me, how can I sit so still

When I have not yet had my fill

Of knowing what's beyond them hills

When I finally need my rest

I then gaze up at the stars

They lead me to a different new

Muse for my guitar

Some journeys are best unmet

But I'm yearning that ain't a threat

When my appetite for thrill

Needs to be fed

So long hated life of mine

I'm living in my prime

My days in tune and rhyme

So long fated destiny

I'm afraid it ain't for me

Afraid it ain't to be

I've yet the world to see

I've yet the world to see

I've yet the world to see

So long, I do not have time

For making silver shine

I have a life and it's mine

So long, wait 'till you see me

Recite my poetry

And hear my melody

For all the world to see

For all the world to see, yea-heh

For all the world to see

For all the world to see
