Gone by Honey Island Swamp Band

Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone

Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone

I haunt the highways
In a ghost of glass and steel
I shiver like a banshee at the wheel
Miles to go yet
Touch of regret
Trouble in my mind
Chase the sunset down behind the Georgia line

I can swing a hammer
I can drive a nail
I can drive for sixteen hours like breaking jail
I don’t ever wonder who I’m meant to be
Every shadow I meet looks just like me

I guess I been gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone

I been gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone

Had a rider out of Bristol, Tennessee
A fever in the night she came to me
I been gone, ten years on
I drift on numbered days
How I loved her in a thousand different ways

I left home when I was half grown
Haven’t come back yet
Ten years old when I smoked my first cigarette
Guess I hit the ground running
Mama always said
I’d end up on the inside or wind up dead

Guess I been gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone

I been gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone

See him in the spotlight
See him in disguise
Look into the emptiness of his eyes
You could spend your lifetime
Stuck in second gear
He’s a thousand miles away even as he’s standing here

I been gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone

Yes I been gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone

I been gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone

I been gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone

Yes I been gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Long gone
