Gone With the Wind

I'm here again
A year later, I'm still the same little kid
I never got free, not how I'd like to be
I'm stuck in my head
Got a little tough skin, but I'm still made of sand
I want to be the man my loved ones say I am
I've got a friend
And he's brave and courageous
And he looks like me
But see, he got away, didn't he?

My god, he was gone with the wind
He got farther than I'd ever been
So I made a run for my life
I swore I'd never lose touch with my better side
Oh, he got yes, I got no
I'm just a rumor with nothing to show
My god, he got it right, he got free
Said he'd be on the other side waiting for me
He was gone with the wind
My god, did he go

Worn at the tread
I've got a thick skull but I'm just a thin little thread
And I'm tied up to everything
I'm past my thresh
I try to sit back but I keep getting stretched
Because I've got to be a man
But I've got a friend
And he can deal with anything that breaks my back
Because he's who I really am

And my god, he was gone with the wind
He got farther than I'd ever been
So I made a run for my life
I swore I'd never lose touch with my better side
Oh, he got yes, I got no
I'm just a rumor with nothing to show
My god, he got it right, he got free
Said he'd be on the other side waiting for me
He was gone with the wind
My god, did he go

I'm still in my bed
I got the day off 'cause I called in sick
But see, I'm better than ever, man
Because I finally read the little note left for me by my friend
And he said I've always had it in me
To do everything to be a man, but to still be a kid
And I found my way, didn't I?

My god, he was

My god, I was gone with the wind
I got farther than I'd ever been
Yeah, I made a run for my life
And now I swear I'll always shine through as my better side
I got yes, I got no
And now I've finally got something to show
My god, I got it right, I got free
Now I'm here on the other side shooting the breeze
I was gone with the wind
My god, did I go
