He's Gone
Hey there Mom and Dad
I missed your call
I know I hear Mama cryin'
What the hell is wrong
Her baby boy's been gone
For way too long
Been chasing these Tennesse dreams
Singin' these songs
These Tennessee times been takin' its toll
On an ol' boy's soul that his mama used to know
Now he's running down the road
Makin' temporary homes
Running off jack and coke and cigarettes
Busy dreamin' on a dream
Just another song to sing
Yeah that's all he thinks he needs
But he was wrong
And pretty soon he'll find out
He's gone
An old Yamaha six string
Was all he had
It's an old hand-me-down piece
He got from his dad
And everybody always knew that he'd leave town
So he got the next train ticket
And he was Tennessee bound
These Tennessee times been takin' its toll
On an ol' boy's soul that his mama used to know
Now he's running down the road
Makin' temporary homes
Running off jack and coke and cigarettes
Busy dreamin' on a dream
Just another song to sing
Yeah that's all he thinks he needs
But he was wrong
And pretty soon he'll find out
He's gone
These Tennessee times been takin' its toll
On an ol' boy's soul that his mama used to know
Now he's running down the road
Makin' temporary homes
Running off jack and coke and cigarettes
Busy dreamin' on a dream
Just another song to sing
Yeah that's all he thinks he needs
But he was wrong
And pretty soon he'll find out
He's gone
He's gone
I missed your call
I know I hear Mama cryin'
What the hell is wrong
Her baby boy's been gone
For way too long
Been chasing these Tennesse dreams
Singin' these songs
These Tennessee times been takin' its toll
On an ol' boy's soul that his mama used to know
Now he's running down the road
Makin' temporary homes
Running off jack and coke and cigarettes
Busy dreamin' on a dream
Just another song to sing
Yeah that's all he thinks he needs
But he was wrong
And pretty soon he'll find out
He's gone
An old Yamaha six string
Was all he had
It's an old hand-me-down piece
He got from his dad
And everybody always knew that he'd leave town
So he got the next train ticket
And he was Tennessee bound
These Tennessee times been takin' its toll
On an ol' boy's soul that his mama used to know
Now he's running down the road

Running off jack and coke and cigarettes
Busy dreamin' on a dream

These Tennessee times been takin' its toll
On an ol' boy's soul that his mama used to know

Running off jack and coke and cigarettes
Busy dreamin' on a dream
Just another song to sing
Yeah that's all he thinks he needs
But he was wrong
And pretty soon he'll find out
He's gone
He's gone
