Some chewing gum and candy, some magazines and snacks, Some startin' over money that I've been holdin' back, A change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long A one-way ticket sayin' good-bye to everything Threw my weddin' band out the window of the train All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name I'm movin' on 'cause I'm gone
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 lookin' 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, 'cause I'm gone
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 takin' half of everything Well, I'm leavin' your possessions, left on the good-bye train, Left you alone 'cause 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
You can tell the truth or you can lie You can say I left or I died Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest And could spend years lookin' for the light Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I. Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home Well, you can say what you chose, but I tell you the truth You can say for sure I'm gone You can say what you like, but I'll tell you twice You can say for sure, say for sure I'm gone, gone
Some chewing gum and candy, magazines and snacks, Startin' 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 sayin' good-bye to everything I threw my weddin' band out of the window of the train All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name I'm moving on 'cause I'm gone Oh, I'm gone, gone, gone; I'm gone I'm so gone, I'm gone; gone, I'm gone
