I'm Gone
by Tony Whitaker
Been working all my life
lost in a lie
we all can recite
friends, family and for me
a second wife
Flown from Boston to Buffalo, Orlando
to Buffalo
feel like a roadie
in a rock and roll show
'Cause I feel
so damn cold
cant ride
this same old road no more
so Im leaving
yes
yes
Im leaving
Some say I had it made
the house
and the bills are all paid
God I'm tired, of this masquerade
Darling
time for me to go
cause we lost it
a long time ago
so bored of this Broadway show
'Cause I feel
so damn cold
cant ride
this same old road no more
so Im leaving
yes
yes
Im leaving
Some will see what I left behind
and say
committed a crime
I got to live
not leave life behind
'Cause I feel
so damn cold
cant ride
this same old road no more
so Im leaving
yes...
yes...
Im...
gone
