I'm Gone

Some chewing gum and candy

Some magazines and snacks

Some startin' over money

That I've been holdin' back

A change of clothes and notepad

To write a letter back to say, "So long"

A one-way ticket sayin', "Goodbye everything"

Threw my weddin' band out the window of the train

All I want's my freedom

Reclaim my maiden name, I'm movin' on

'Cause I'm gone

You can tell the truth or you can lie

You can say I left you or I died

Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest

And could spend years lookin' for the light

Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I.

Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home

You can say what you choose, but I tell you the truth

You can say for sure I'm gone, 'cause I'm gone

You think that you're above me like I'm not good enough

You make me feel unwanted, unwelcome and unloved

You're selfish, vain and greedy

You're hateful, rude and rough and you're so wrong

But you'd rather live unhappy and tolerate the pain

Than separate and have me takin' half of everything

Well, I'm leavin' your possessions

Left on the goodbye train, left you alone

'Cause I'm gone

You can have the house, the car, the boat

My records, books and stereo

The dog and the cat, my ceramic shop out back

My doll collection and my clothes

You can keep all our friends and all the pictures in the den

And the fluffy pillows you sleep on

When you lay your head on that big feather bed

You can rest assured I'll be gone, I'll be gone

You can tell the truth or you can lie

You can say I left you or I died

Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest

And could spend years lookin' for the light

Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I.

Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home

Well, you can say what you choose, but I tell you the truth

You can say for sure I'm gone

You can say what you like, but I'll tell you twice

You can say for sure, say for sure I'm gone, gone

Some chewing gum and candy

Magazines and snacks

Startin' over money

I've been holdin' back

A change of clothes and notepad

To write a letter back to say, "So long"

I got a one-way ticket sayin', "Goodbye everything"

I threw my weddin' band out of the window of the train

All I want's my freedom

Reclaim my maiden name, I'm movin' on

'Cause I'm gone

(I'm moving on) Oh, I'm gone

(I'm gone) Gone, gone

(I'm moving on) I'm gone, I'm so gone

(I'm gone) I'm gone

(Gone) Gone, I'm gone
