Now, he's gone, now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb
Rollin' down the track, he's gone, he's gone
Hot as a pistol but cool inside
Now, he's gone, now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
Like a steam locomotive
You know better but I know him
Steal your face right off your head
A knife in the back and more of the same
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Now, he's gone, now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain
He's gone, like a steam locomotive
Rollin' down the track, he's gone, he's gone
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile
Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange
And nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Steal your face right off your head
Lost one round but the price wasn't anythin'
And nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone
Rollin' down the track, he's gone, he's gone
He's gone, like a steam locomotive
He's gone, like a steam locomotive
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride
And nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone
Like I told you, what I said
Rollin' down the track, he's gone, he's gone
And nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone
Like I told you, what I said
