Gone like the Wind

I was never meant to live here in New York City
There's a longing in my soul for my home
Out on the banks of River City
That's where I'm a gonna go

Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
When you have a change of heart
And you come back round again
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind

I came here chasing dreams and money
Trying to make the dowry you were owed
Day after day, I was putting cash away
But darling I can't afford your soul

Your heart is hard like these northern winters
Lately, I'm chilled to the bone
I miss the warm sunshine of River City
So honey, that's where I'm gonna go

Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
When you have a change of heart
And you come back round again
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind

Tomorrow, there's a train from union station
Tomorrow, I'll pack my things and go
When you come home to find
No trace of me inside
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind

Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
Honey, don't you cry
We don't need no goodbyes
Honey, I'll be gone like the wind
