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