GONE A long drink of water and a pickup truck On a bone dry summer I've been out of luck But 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 her warning from the old front porch But I'm gone They say you'll burn me like you're Sherman with a big bad torch I've 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 I can't help but see it like a movie scene Where 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 ... Does it seem like it's too much to ask For reckless grin and a tank full of gas Gone ... 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 her warning from the old front porch
