Gone

Starin through the screen door
Out beyond the glow of a porch light
She couldnt sleep again
Looks like its gonna be another long night

Shes tremblin from the cold
Or it might be fear
She knows the change is come
And it might be near

A car goes rollin by
Shes shocked to see herself behind the wheel
She says, I wonder where Im goin
God, I wonder how I feel

With the windows down, this dead end town
And empty love behind me
Free at last, no lookin back
One day Im gonna find me

Gone anywhere
Everywhere and nowhere
Gone, just pick a dream
Any dream and go there

There comes a time in every life
When everybody winds up gone

Then the wind changed direction
And that car comes rollin down the drive
Pulled up in the porch light
She heard her voice comin from inside

Said, You look a little restless, girl
Come on, go with me
Ill have you back by mornin
Knowin how it feels to be

Gone anywhere
Everywhere and nowhere
Gone, just pick a dream
Any dream and go there

There comes a time in every life
When everybody winds up gone

He stumbles out of bed
Awakened by the knockin at the front door
Lookin through the screen
At two strangers hes never seen before

Weve got bad news for you, sir
Shes spun out of control
We did all we could do, sir
God rest her soul, shes gone
