I wish she'd been just a little more clear
I mean what kind of gone are we talkin' 'bout here?
Well there's gone for the day and gone for the night
What kinda gone are we talkin' 'bout?
I mean what kind of gone are we talkin' 'bout here?
Is it whiskey night or just a couple beers?
Well there's gone for the day and gone for the night
But I didn't 'cause I didn't really think what I'm thinkin' now

I would have stopped her, when she went to leave
Thought I heard her say somethin' soundin' like I'm gone
Well it's gettin' dark out, she ain't back yet
And gone for the rest of your doggone life
What kinda gone are we talkin' 'bout here?
What kinda gone?

And there's gone with the long before it
She'll come around or the kind that says you had your chance
And there's gone with the long before it
Is it whiskey night or just a couple beers?

Ah man, ha, this might not be good

I hollered, “Baby is there somethin' wrong?”
'Cuz there's gone for good and there's good and gone

I wish she'd been just a little more clear

Ain't called home, turned off the phone
And there's gone with the long before it

Ah hell, she's gettin' in her car
Is it whiskey night or just a couple beers?

I'm still not sure what gone is all about
And gone for the rest of your doggone life
But these days gone can mean so many things
I wish she'd been just a little more clear

Well there's gone for good and there's good and gone
And she ain't comin' back
Is it the kind of gone where she's at her mom's coolin' down?
And gone for the rest of your doggone life
I mean what kind of gone are we talkin' 'bout?
Well there's gone for the day and gone for the night
There's gone for good and there's good and gone
