Gone Baby Gone

I took off without much warning
Loaded up the car this morning
I know where I’m headed for this time
New York City sucked me bone dry
Gotta find a new fish to fry
City’s in the rearview bye bye bye………….bye bye

Gone Baby Gone back to Lake Charles Looziana
Endless vistas reaching out to me
Gone Baby Gone back to my Americana
Oh Hosannah, Hosannah I am free

Caught up in a tough downsizing
I saw the light and realized then
It was not a world where I belonged
I thought I was one tough hombre
My ass got kicked from here to Sunday
I was sent a sign, time to move on…………move it on

Headed west until Ohio
Took a left and southwest I go
Spent the night in Knoxville Tennessee
Next night in a roadside motel
What happened, it’s a no tell
I’m almost home , she calls to me…………I feel her breathe
