He's Gone

He's gone, like a steam locomotive
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
And nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone
And nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone
Like a steam locomotive

Now, he's gone, now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange
Like I told you, what I said
Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb

And nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain

Steal your face right off your head
A knife in the back and more of the same
Now, he's gone, now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
He's gone, like a steam locomotive
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said
Rollin' down the track, he's gone, he's gone

Rollin' down the track, he's gone, he's gone
Rollin' down the track, he's gone, he's gone
Hot as a pistol but cool inside

Steal your face right off your head
Nothin' 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
Lost one round but the price wasn't anythin'
Rollin' down the track, he's gone, he's gone
And nothin's gonna bring him back, he's gone
