Gone

Well, I got drunk with buds in Dublin I've been sober in October Wandered through the darkness Stuck around to greet the dawn Sank low down in New Orleans Chased them clouds in Colorado Blowin' like the wind I've been gone Like you ain't ever seen Far, wide and in between Livin' out an outlaw cowboy song It's a heavy price to pay I'll make light of it some day With a tale to tell for each one, I've been gone In my mind, I'm just a drifter A traveler, a visitor Turnin' over miles, turnin' pages, turnin' stones Spurrin' late night conversation, other-worldly observations By the time I make some sense of it, I'll be movin' on Like you ain't ever seen Far and wide and in between Chasin' after dreams, right or wrong It's a heavy price to pay I'll make light of it some day With a tale to tell for each one, I've been gone And when they call my number to the Gatherin' of Goners I'll wear my rambler's smile with honor And waltz into the Great Beyond Like you ain't ever seen Far and wide and in between Livin' out a gospel cowboy song It's a heavy price to pay I'll make light of it some day With a tale to tell for each one, I've been gone Got a tale to tell for each one, I've been gone
