I'm Gone

[Chorus 1] Some chewing gum and candy, some magazines and snacks Some starting over money that I've been holding back A change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long A one-way ticket saying good-bye to everything Threw my wedding band out the window of the train All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name I'm moving on because I'm gone [Chorus 2] You can tell the truth or you can lie You can say I left you or I died Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest And could spend years looking for the light Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home You can say what you chose, but I tell you the truth You can say for sure I'm gone, because I'm gone [Verse] You think that you're above me, like I'm not good enough You make me feel unwanted, unwelcome and unloved You're selfish, vain and greedy; you're hateful, rude and rough And you're so wrong But you'd rather live unhappy and tolerate the pain Than separate and have me taking half of everything Well, I'm leaving your possessions, left on the good-bye train Left you alone because I'm gone You can have the house, the car, the boat My records, books and stereo The dog and the cat, my ceramic shop out back My doll collection and my clothes You can keep all our friends and all the pictures in the den And the fluffy pillows you sleep on But when you lay your head on that big feather bed You can rest assured I'll be gone; I'll be gone [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1] Some chewing gum and candy, magazines and snacks Starting over money I've been holding back Change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long I got a one-way ticket saying good-bye to everything I threw my wedding band out of the window of the train All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name I'm moving on because I'm gone Oh, I'm gone, gone, gone; I'm gone I'm so gone, I'm gone; gone, I'm gone
