He's Gone

[Chorus 1] Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb You know better but I know him Like I told you, what I said Steal your face right off your head [Chorus 2] Now, he's gone, now he's gone, Lord, he's gone He's gone, like a steam locomotive Rolling down the track, he's gone, he's gone And nothin's going to bring him back, he's gone [Verse 1] Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride Hot as a pistol but cool inside Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile [Chorus 1] [Verse 2] Going where the wind don't blow so strange Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain Lost one round but the price wasn't anything A knife in the back and more of the same [Chorus 2] Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb You know better but I know him Like I told you, what I said Steal your face right off your head [Chorus 2] Ne [Outro] Like a steam locomotive Rolling down the track, he's gone, he's gone And nothing's going to bring him back, he's gone Ooh, nothing's going to bring him back[2x]
