About being freed from the shackles of life

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I work in this joint every day and night
Just wondering what I'm not doing right
I'm rushed off my feet all the time
And the boss keeps shouting like I'm just some animal
The customer's always the one who's right
They know this and so they complain all night
Is that a hand on my behind?
That's enough, I just gotta go find some peace of mind
My break time has come, I turn the T.V. on
In time for the evening draw
The numbers I played are staring straight in my face
That's the break I've been praying for

Chorus:
Gone, I'm gone
I haven't even told a soul that I will be going
I'm Gone, just gone
I'm finally reaping from the seeds that I have been sowing
The world is my oyster, I'm so filthy rich
No longer a slave, no longer somebody's (oh no)
Packed all my things, walked through that door
Pressed the gas pedal to the floor
I'm oh so gone

Verse 2:
My man is the one who calls all the shots
I don't say a word 'cause he's all I got
Oh yes all the bills have been paid
But I hurt both in and outside from the scars he made
I'd like to pursue all the goals I've set
It hurts me to hear I'm not ready yet
I'm told when to lie on my back
And the courage to get up and go is the thing I lack
I sit in despair until I happen to hear
The result of the evening draw
It's hard to believe, I've finally got a reprieve
Six numbers have set me free

Chorus:
Gone, I'm gone....

Bridge:
It feels so good to break all o' the rules
And let your hair down and just take to the road
It feels so nice to not have to think twice
About all the problems you're leaving behind
Whoa whoa

Chorus:
I'm gone, I'm gone...
