I'm Gone

Lyrics and music by Dov Hammer ©

​

A change is due, I need something new

Time for a brand new song

Stop reading the news, get back to the Blues

Before anyone sees that I'm gone

Time speeds up, time slows down

But it never waits for no-one

You got a lifetime of being old, just a moment of being young

I spent too many sleepless nights wondering what went wrong

I'm gone, I’m gone

I done stayed around here way too long

I'm gone, I’m gone

I done stayed around here way too long

 

Spent more money than a millionaire,

I could've owned half the town

Drank enough whiskey to fill the sea,

But I never quite did drown

Mama said you're on the wrong path, son,

Papa – he just frowned

I ran through the red lights full speed ahead,

And never once looked down

Life on the edge has a charm all of its own

I'm gone, I’m gone

I done stayed around here way too long

I'm gone, I’m gone I done stayed around here way too long

 

 Against all odds I'm still in the game

But even water grinds down a stone

It gets so crowded on the gravy train

But you pay the price all alone

All of my fair weather friends have flown, taken off to parts unknown

Left me standing all alone

in my glass house,

throwing stones

The earth just keeps on turning while you’re staring at your phone...

I'm gone, I’m gone

I done stayed around here way too long

 

I'm gone, I'm gone,

I done stayed around here

I’ve been laying around here

whined and complained around here

way too long
