Flatland Cavalry

Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well I got drunk with buds in Dublin

And I've been sober in October

I wandered through the darkness

Stuck around to greet the dawn

Sank low down in New Orleans

Chased them clouds in Colorado

Blowing like the wind

I've been gone



[Chorus]

Like you ain't ever seen

Far and wide and in between

Living out an outlaw cowboy song

It's a heavy price to pay

I'll make light of it some day

With a tale to tell for each one I've been gone



[Verse 2]

In my mind I'm just a drifter

A traveler, a visitor

Turning over miles, turning pages, turning stones

Spurring late night conversation

Other worldly obsеrvations

By the time I make somе sense of it

I'll be moving on



[Chorus]

Like you ain't ever seen

Far and wide and in between

Chasing after dreams, right or wrong

It's a heavy price to pay

I'll make light of it some day

With a tale to tell for each one I've been gone



[Bridge]

And when they call my number

To the gatherin' of goners

I'll wear my rambler's smile with honor

And waltz into the great beyond



[Chorus]

Like you ain't ever seen

Far and wide and in between

Living out a gospel cowboy song

It's a heavy price to pay

I'll make light of it some day

With a tale to tell for each one I've been gone



[Outro]

Got a tale to tell for each one I've been gone
