  • Wherever you're going, I wanna go
    Wherever you're heading, can you let me know
    I don't mind catching up, I'm on my way
    Just can't take the thought of you miles away

    And I know you're going somewhere to make a better life
    I hope that you find it on the first try
    And even though it kills me that you have to go
    I know it will be sadder if you never hit the road

    So farewell
    Somebody's gonna miss you
    Farewell
    Somebody's gonna wish that you were here
    That somebody is me

    I will write to tell you what's going on
    But you won't miss nothing but the same old song
    If you don't mind catching up
    I'll spend the day telling you stories about a land far away
    But I know

    And I know you're going somewhere to make a better life
    I hope that you find it on the first try
    And even though it kills me that you have to go
    I know it'll be sadder if you never hit the road

    So farewell
    Somebody's gonna miss you
    Farewell
    Somebody's gonna wish that you were here
    Farewell
    Somebody's gonna miss you
    Farewell
    Somebody's gonna wish that you were here
    That somebody is me

    And I'm gon' try to hold it all in
    Try to hold back my tears
    So it don't make you stay here, yeah
    I'ma try to be a big girl now
    'Cause I don't wanna be
    The reason you don't leave

    Farewell
    Somebody's gonna miss you
    Farewell
    Somebody's gonna wish that you were here
    Farewell
    Somebody's gonna miss you
    Farewell
    Somebody's gonna wish that you were here
    That somebody is me Writer/s: Alexander Junior Grant, Ester Dean
