He's Gone

Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a lim
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head

Now he's gone, now he's gone
Lord he's gone, he's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
Nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride,
Hot as a pistol but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a bind,
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

Now he's gone, now he's gone
Lord he's gone, he's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
Nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone

Going where the wind don't blow so strange,
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything,
A knife in the back and more of the same

Same old rat in a drain ditch, caught on a lim
you know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I say
Steal your face right off your head

Now he's gone, now he's gone
Lord he's gone, he's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, he's gone
Nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone

Ohoo nothin's gonna bring him back
Ohoo nothin's gonna bring him back
Ohoo nothin's gonna bring him back
Ohoo nothin's gonna bring him back
