I was ready to cross that borderleave my babe behindyes ready to cross that borderwhere I thought that I'd gold to grindWell I told her 'bout the fortunesthat I was gonna getand how I'd come and pick her up laterin a brand new Corvetteor maybe in a streamlined custom jetand how I'd knot my bandana and not forgetShe said did I remember those rainy morningson the by-pass out of this placetrying to flag down long-distance haulersshe her handbag and me my caseand how we'd dreamed about being somewherewhere we could tune inand all the times we had to turn backand give in once againand now you tell me that you'll not forgetto come and get me in your new CorvetteBut what was that shadow - a rush in the streetwas it a bat or a hobo that laidbeneath her pink silk-sheetSongtexteyou know I really can't leave youas your heart could stop to beatyes, and the gold in your grindis what in the end I really best needYes I went to see my babethis would be the Big Farewellmany many teardrops I did expectand love words to tellyou know, I left out all thosered-light streets with girls in processionjust to tell her who her sole was andwhole possessionand how I'd tell her not to fretthat I'd be back to get her in a jet...But what was that movement?a reflection on the blindwas it a cat or red-robin?and what were those wordsthe gold in your grindis what I really best needyou know I really can't leave youas my heart would stop to beatand the gold in your grindis what I really best needIt was the Big Farewell.
