Gone Songtext
Well, I got drunk with buds in Dublin
I've been sober in October
Wandered through the darkness
Stuck around to greet the dawn
Sank low down in New Orleans
Chased them clouds in Colorado
Blowing like the wind
I've been gone

Like you ain't ever seen
Far, wide and in between
Living out an outlaw cowboy song
It's a heavy price to pay
I'll make light of it some day
With a tale to tell for each one
I've been gone

In my mind, I'm just a drifter
A traveler, a visitor
Turning over miles
Turning pages
Turning stones
Spurring late night conversation
Other-worldly observations
By the time I make some sense of it
I'll be moving on

Like you ain't ever seen
Far and wide and between
Chasing after dreams
Right or wrong
It's a heavy price to pay
I'll make light of it some day
With a tale to tell for each one
I've been gone

And when they call my number
To the Gatherin' of Goners
I'll wear my rambler's smile with honor
And waltz into the Great Beyond

Like you ain't ever seen
Far and wide and between
Living out a gospel cowboy song
It's a heavy price to pay
I'll make light of it some day
With a tale to tell for each one
I've been gone

Got a tale to tell for each one
I've been gone
