Going Going

[Verse 1] Some days you'd find us inside with the lantern on Blood on the doorstep, armor of God Eyes to the savior, the gun in my pocket Waiting for morning to come [Pre-Chorus] Come on down and get me Come on down and get me [Chorus] When you're gone, you're gone I can tell you'd always run Now you're gone, gone, gone [Verse 2] Black folks who dance, we were glad, on a tightrope The women who loved me whipped me with switches Out in them ditches, dodging tornadoes Hoping the cavalry come [Pre-Chorus] Come on down and get me Oh, come on down and get me Oh, just come on down and get me [Chorus] When you're gone, you're gone I can tell you'd always run Now you're gone, gone, gone [Verse 3] On a base far away I'm where it's hot in the morning sun There's a sense that I am still with the men and the pews Beneath Plymouth Rock [Outro] And you're gone, you're gone You're gone, oh, you're gone And you're gone, gone, gone Yee
