"GONE AS GONE GETS" lyrics

She packed a car and said I'm getting out of here
Left me with nothing
So I bought me some beer
Sat on the porch killing time and stacking cans
Baby, I'm as gone as gone gets

I'm already gone
Like a lonesome whistle song
Gone like the birds when the snow comes along
And I've been gone so long
I forget where I went
Maybe I will find you again
Maybe I'm as gone as gone gets

Well, I should've seen it coming
When she told me she would leave
And I tried to tell her I was oh so sorry
Sorry doesn't cut it
When you're on a whiskey kick
Maybe I'm as gone as gone gets

I'm already gone
Like a lonesome whistle song
Gone like the birds when the snow comes along
And I've been gone so long
I forget where I went
Maybe I will find you again
Maybe I'm as gone as gone gets

Well, I'm already gone
Like a lonesome whistle song
Gone like the birds when the snow comes along
And I've been gone so long
I forget where I went
Maybe I will find you again
Maybe I'm as gone as gone gets
