Story behind the song

Lyrics
Farewell, My Fair-Weather Friend"
Words & Music by Tom Tognaci
He can buy you your diamond rings,
Just to keep in your box of things.
He can buy you your fresh new start,
And all it costs is my broken heart.
He can take you most anywhere,
Fly to Spain for your affair.
All those places weve never been,
While I was hung up on thick and thin.
Farewell, my fair-weather friend,
You jump from sack to sack
So, wherever youre going,
Keep on going,
And dont come back.
You say with him the time just flies
But all that time with you he buys
You wear his watch, the seconds sweep
But all your time is for him to keep
Farewell, my fair-weather friend,
You jump from sack to sack
So, wherever youre going,
Keep on going,
And dont come back.
