From the recording THE CROP

Lyrics

THE FASTEST WAY TO GONE 
 
Summertime at the fair; 
Thought I found true love there. 
Remember how we met? 
We both played hard to get. 
Now, it’ll be hard getting 
Over you, 
And begin forgetting 
Our “I do’s.” 
And begin forgetting 
Our “I do’s.” 
 
These battle lines 
That we have drawn 
All seem to say 
We’d better find 
The fastest way 
To gone. 
 
Your kisses were so sweet – 
Till you turned down the heat. 
Your embrace meant so much, 
But somehow we lost touch. 
We both watched the magic 
Disappear. 
That dark road to tragic 
Begins here. 
That dark road to tragic 
Begins here. 
 
These battle lines 
That we have drawn 
All seem to say 
We’d better find 
The fastest way 
To gone. 
 
Got a road map to “Good-bye” 
And one tear in my eye. 
Gonna leave the table 
While I’m good and able; 
Love’s not being served here 
Anymore. 
I can see my way clear 
To the door. 
I can see my way clear 
To the door. 
 
These battle lines 
That we have drawn 
All seem to say 
We’d better find 
The fastest way 
To gone. 
We’d better find 
The fastest way 
To gone.
