Gone

A long drink of water and a pickup truck
On a bone dry summer, I've been out of luck
When you blew into town, I felt the winds of change
A little bit scary and a little bit strange
I know from being broken harder
With nothing to lose
Doesn't take much around here
To make such big news

And I'm gone
Mama left a warning from the old front porch
But I'm gone
They say you'll burn me like you're Sherman with your big bad torch
Seen a million suns go down on this tired town
Now you're here and I'm gone

So in comes the stranger to the tight-lipped frowns
The walls come up and the shades go down
Can't help but see it like a movie scene
When you bust on through and you rescue me
And the sign of a happy ending is an out of state tag
Outside of the house where the girl inside is packing her bags

And I'm gone
Mama left a warning from the old front porch
Gone
They say you'll burn me like you're Sherman with your big bad torch
I've seen a million suns go down on this tired town
Now you're here and I'm gone

Does it seem like it's too much to ask
For reckless grin and a tank full of gas
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And I don't know if I will ever belong
But I'm done here doing time and I'm moving along
And I'm gone

Gone
Mama left a warning from the old front porch
They say you'll burn me like you're Sherman with your big bad torch
Gone
Mama left a warning from the old front porch
They say you'll burn me like you're Sherman with your big bad torch
But I'm gone
Mama left a warning from the old front porch
And I'm gone
