I Want To Go (Where Nobody Knows Me)
George Hamilton IV · Other Songs - George Hamilton IV
The same old friends that I meet are always asking me
What happened to our love why did you go away
I smiled at them but died inside a little more each day
I want to go where nobody knows me where no one can ask me about you
I want to go where there are no mem'ries maybe someday
I'll forget about you
[ guitar ]I leave today catch a train somewhere far away
I'll find a way to ease this pain that haunts me night and day
Somewhere in this big big world I'll leave the past behind
I'll wake up and find that you're no longer on my mind
I want to go where nobody knows me...
