What’s my name?
Well it’s a crying shame I’m someone you’ll never get to know
Gotta find somewhere to leave behind
Another place I’ve gotta go
You see, you…you can’t tie me down
I’ll pull up my roots and move on
I’ve never been anywhere before
That’s ever held me too long
You can call me Gone
My best friend, I’ll never see again
I just met him an hour ago
Just like me, born to be free
He’s a habit of the road
You see, you…you can’t tie him down
He’ll pull up his roots and move on
He’s never been anywhere before
That’s ever held him too long
You can call him Gone
Like a yesterday, like a runaway
Never to return
Like a time in your past, when there’s no turning back
‘Cause it’s a bridge
That you have burned
Like the wind I’m up and gone again
Headed down another road
Always packed, and I never look back
‘Cause this highway’s my abode
You see, you…you can’t tie me down
I’ll pull up my roots and move on
I’ve never been anywhere before
That’s ever held me too long
You can call me Gone
Call me Gone
Like the wind I’m up and gone again
Headed down another road
