Going Gone

[Verse 1]

Let me take you down to the wreckage

I know a place down on the West End

Where new things go when they get old

Those scrapyard dogs stayin' on patrol

Thinkin' 'bout a time when I got bit

Those memories I have that won't quit

Give anything time, it'll come true

Like me and you, babe, rustin' right through

[Chorus]

Lovin' you was like a race

Motion sickness from the pace

I fell behind, you pulled away

Going, going, going

You left me standin' in the dust

Now there's nothin' left of us

Just a dream fadin' with the dawn

Going, going, going, gone

Going, going, going, gone

[Verse 2]

Rollin' through the city on a Friday night

Used to have you with me, but it's all alright

Said you'd think about it and you'd let me know

I'd do anything if I could just let go

Take it on the chin like I always do

Try to start again, but it's always you

Little slick of oil under streetlights

Little tick of time I can't rewind

Oh

[Chorus]

Lovin' you was like a race

Motion sickness from the pace

I fell behind, you pulled away

Going, going, going

You left me standin' in the dust

Now there's nothin' left of us

Just a dream fadin' with the dawn

Going, going, going, gone

Going, going, going, gone

[Outro]

Home run ball, my last paycheck

That shot of Jim, this cigarette

Teenage years, gas in the tank

The plans we made, your shadow on the lawn

Going, going, going, going, going, going, gone

Going, going, going, gone
