James Otto Gone lyrics

I wonder where she is tonight
Is she alone or did she find
What she needed from me

I guess I got what I deserve
How could I go on hurtin' her that way
And think she'd stay

I found it sittin' on the stove
"It's over" written on a posted note
And that was all she wrote

She's gone like the mind of a man insane
Gone like the snow when it turns to rain
And runs down the road and down the drain, so long

Long gone like the money when you've paid the rent
Gone like the time that I should've spent at home
With her, too bad, one word
Gone

Then out of nowhere she showed up
For a minute I didn't know what to say
I was blown away

This time I'm gonna do things right
Gonna show her every night I care
This time, I swear


As I reach out to touch her face
That's when the whole thing starts to fade
Then I hear the sound of my alarm clock

And it hits me like a Mack truck doin' ninety
Down a one way dead end road
Bound straight for hell


She's gone like the mind of a man insane
Gone like the snow when it turns to rain
And runs down the road and down the drain, so long

Long gone like the money when you've paid the rent
Gone like the time that I should've spent at home
With her, too bad, one word
Gone

Long, long gone like the money when you've paid the rent
Gone like the time that I should've spend at home
With her, too bad, one word
Gone
Gone
