(Dolly Parton) |
|
Some chewing gum and candy, some magazines and snacks, |
|
Some startin' over money that |
|
I've been holdin' back, |
|
A change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long |
|
A one-way ticket sayin' good-bye to everything |
|
Threw my weddin' band out the window of the train |
|
All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name |
|
I'm movin' on 'cause |
|
I'm goneYou can tell the truth or you can lie |
|
You can say |
|
I left you or |
|
I diedSay |
|
I'm in the |
|
Himalayas on some spiritual quest |
|
And could spend years lookin' for the light |
|
Say I'm in the witness program with the |
|
F.B.I.,Say a |
|
U.F.O. abducted me from home |
|
You can say what you chose, but |
|
I tell you the truth |
|
You can say for sure |
|
I'm gone, 'cause |
|
I'm goneYou think that you're above me, like |
|
I'm not good enough |
|
You make me feel unwanted, unwelcome and unloved |
|
You're selfish, vain and greedy; you're hateful, rude and rough |
|
And you're so wrong |
|
But you'd rather live unhappy and tolerate the pain |
|
Than separate and have me takin' half of everything |
|
Well, I'm leavin' your possessions, left on the good-bye train, |
|
Left you alone 'cause |
|
I'm goneYou can have the house, the car, the boat, |
|
My records, books and stereo, |
|
The dog and the cat, my ceramic shop out back, |
|
My doll collection and my clothes |
|
You can keep all our friends and all the pictures in the den, |
|
And the fluffy pillows you sleep on |
|
But when you lay your head on that big feather bed |
|
You can rest assured |
|
I'll be gone; |
|
I'll be gone |
|
You can tell the truth or you can lie |
|
You can say |
|
I left or |
|
I diedSay |
|
I'm in the |
|
Himalayas on some spiritual quest |
|
And could spend years lookin' for the light |
|
Say I'm in the witness program with the |
|
F.B.I.Say a |
|
U.F.O. abducted me from home |
|
Well, you can say what you chose, but |
|
I tell you the truth |
|
You can say for sure |
|
I'm goneYou can say what you like, but |
|
I'll tell you twice |
|
You can say for sure, say for sure |
|
I'm gone, gone |
|
Some chewing gum and candy, magazines and snacks, |
|
Startin' over money |
|
I've been holding back, |
|
Change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long |
|
I got a one-way ticket sayin' good-bye to everything |
|
I threw my weddin' band out of the window of the train |
|
All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name |
|
I'm moving on 'cause |
|
I'm goneOh, |
|
I'm gone, gone, gone; |
|
I'm goneI'm so gone, |
|
I'm gone; gone, |
|
I'm gone |
