Richard Shindell Gethsemani Goodbye Lyrics

INTRO: Am F C G Dm F Am F C G Dm
I remember everything
How I lost the way
How I went too far
Down the Bardstown Road
How I drove around in circles
'Til the morning slipped away
Headed back to Louisville
And kissed Gethsemani goodbye
All you really wanted
Was to go see Merton's shed
Stroll around the garden
To pray beside his grave
But I refused to get directions
Just kept on driving like a fool
When the Interstate appeared
We kissed Gethsemani goodbye
BRIDGE:
It's just straight down 31
Broadway becomes Main
How I missed that turn
I will never know___
INTERLUDE: F Am F C G Dm F Am F C G Dm
I remember everything
How I lost the way
How I went too far
Down the Bardstown Road
The friend you always needed
Would've kept our morning plan
But I drove us back to Louisville
And kissed Gethsemani goodbye
OUTRO: F Am F C G Dm F Am F C
