Gone

                                  Starin' through the screen door

Out beyond the glow of a porch light

She couldn't sleep again

Looks like it's gonna be another long night



she's tremblin' from the cold

Or it might be fear

She knows the change is come

And it might be near



A car goes rollin' by

She's shocked to see herself behind the wheel

She says, 'I wonder where I'm goin'

God, I wonder how I feel?



With the windows down, this dead end town

And empty love behind me

Free at last, no lookin' back

One day I'm gonna find me?



Gone anywhere

Everywhere and nowhere

Gone, just pick a dream

Any dream and go there



There comes a time in every life

When everybody winds up gone



Then the wind changed direction

And that car comes rollin' down the drive

Pulled up in the porch light

She heard her voice comin' from inside



Said, you look a little restless, girl

Come on, go with me

I'll have you back by mornin'

Knowin' how it feels to be



Gone anywhere

Everywhere and nowhere

Gone, just pick a dream

Any dream and go there



There comes a time in every life

When everybody winds up gone



He stumbles out of bed

Awakened by the knockin' at the front door

Lookin' through the screen

At two strangers he's never seen before



We've got bad news for you, sir

She's spun out of control

We did all we could do, sir

God rest her soul, she's gone
