Well, it's hard for me to leave it all behind
Everything that I would once call mine
Mountains and the fields, stars at night
But now crowded streets, and tall buildings
I'm gone, I'm gone
Snowflakes drop like diamonds in the sky
They are only boulders to my eyes
It was never hard to say goodbye
To the rain or snow, so here I go
I'm gone, I'm gone
♪
I hide from dark skies
Skies, skies
Bloodsuckers run rampant in this town
They come out at night from their homes in the ground
I'll be leaving soon I'm homeward bound
To factories, and tall buildings
I'm gone, I'm gone
♪
I hide from dark skies
Skies, skies
I remember lying in tall grass
Telling secrets on our backs
I shared everything I ever had
But now black freight train, and ocean bay
I'm home
Black freight train, California
I'm home
