Lyrics
The Goner You're Gone
Verse 1
There's a fly picnicin' on a dinner plate
From a couple nights back that I barely ate
I should ask him, hey what's new and get the buzz
Still wonderin' if I am or if I was
Dirty dishes and pyramids of empty beers
Is all that's really addin' up around here
Chorus
The longer I long
The goner you're gone
Even you're picture seems to fade
Blues are all I see
Coming back to me
And the longer I long
The goner you're gone...
Away
Verse 2
Been sittin' in the drive with the engine on
Tryin' to figure out which way you mighta gone
And I thought you paid that boy to mow the yard
You coulda gone to Houston or to Baton Rouge
Gonna need another beer to think this through
Besides all the sudden it's gettin' dark
Bridge
And they say that time will heal a broken heart
But all that must be wrong
Cause all that time's done up till now
Is making sure...
