Lyrics
When I'm Gone Words and Music: Paul White
In the morning, gonna pack my bags and leave the place I sleep
It's no use hanging around, waiting, that promise won't keep
And when I leave this place I wonder if you'll notice that I'm gone
Chances are you wont be sorry I'm out on my own
Well I'll be rollin' down the highway
Singing songs and getting sleep
I'll be fishing in a creek 'cause I've got nowhere to be
When I'm gone - say goodbye for me
It's no use thinking that I'm doing wrong by leaving you alone
A country town's got lots of work you know but not for long
And when I've seen it twice who knows the likes of me might settle down
Maybe way out west in Perth or maybe Sydney town - who knows
Well I'll be rollin' down the highway
Singing songs and getting sleep
I'll be fishing in a creek 'cause I've got nowhere to be
When I'm gone - say goodbye for me
Instrumental
Well I'll be rollin' down the highway
Singing songs and getting sleep
I'll be fishing in a creek 'cause I've got nowhere to be
When I'm gone
Well I'll be rollin' down the highway
Singing songs and getting sleep
I'll be fishing in a creek 'cause I've got nowhere to be
When I'm gone
Well I'll be rollin' down the highway
Singing songs and getting sleep
I'll be fishing in a creek 'cause I've got nowhere to be
When I'm gone - say goodbye for me
