I'm closin' the book on the pages and the text
I been walkin' the road, I been livin' on the edge
I'm just going, I'm going, I'm gone
I been hangin' on threads, I been playin' it straight
And you'll be fine at the end of the line
And I don't really care what happens next
Grandma said, "Boy, go and follow your heart
So I'm going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't you and your one true love ever part"
Now, I've just got to go before I get to the ledge
Now, I've just got to cut loose before it gets late
I'm going, I'm going, I'm gone
All that's gold isn't meant to shine
