Demons

He took off when I was born, all he left was his name
Mama said you're never gonna see him again
But the field needs planting and the baby needs shoes
The weather's gonna get us if we don't come through

He's gone like an eagle in flight
He's gone, struck out in the middle of the night
He's gone, he wasn't your friend
He's gone, you're never gonna see him again

A young man crying at the foot of his bed
Said he remembers her long dark hair
They were being foolish, it was just dumb luck
When the needle split the vien, he knew she was stuck

Now she's gone like a runaway train
She's gone, she couldn't take the pain
She's gone, she wasn't your friend
She's gone, you're never gonna see her again

He spent 42 years on a lonesome track
42 more before he went back
Everybody thought he had a heart attack
He took off on a Friday and he never came back

He's gone, like a blank paycheck
He's gone, a noose around his neck
He's gone, he wasn't your friend
He's gone, you're never gonna see him again
He's gone, you're never gonna see him again
He's gone, you're never gonna see him again
