lyrics

Gone Gone Gone

Son, where you going on a cold, cold night?
I’m going up to the north side, make things right
Don’t stay up, Mama, turn out the lights
When I’m gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

Son, what you gonna do when you get there?
I’m gonna find all the rich folk, grab ‘em by the hair
Don’t you worry, Mama, don’t be scared
When I’m gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

I don’t need to say what those folks have done
They own this town, got us all on the run
You’ll know their judgment day’s begun
When I’m gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

Son, how you gonna do what you say?
I’m gonna burn down buildings in my way
I’m gonna fire this gun till they all can say
That they’re gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

Son, why you come right back so soon?
I shot a man and a woman in the glare of the moon
And I feel so sick I’m gonna meet my doom
I’ll be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

Lock all the doors, Mama, don’t make a sound
They’re gonna kick ‘em all in and shoot us both down
By tomorrow we say goodbye to this town
We’ll be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
