Going, going, gone
I've just reached a place
Where the willow don't bend.
There's not much more to be said
It's the top of the end.
I'm going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.
I'm closin' the book
On the pages and the text
And I don't really care
What happens next.
I'm just going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.
I been hangin' on threads,
I been playin' it straight,
Now, I've just got to cut loose
Before it gets late.
So I'm going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.
Grandma said, "Boy, go and follow your heart
And you'll be fine at the end of the line.
All that's gold isn't meant to shine.
Don't you and your one true love ever part."
I been walkin' the road,
I been livin' on the edge,
Now, I've just got to go
Before I get to the ledge.
So I'm going,
I'm just going,
I'm gone.
I've just reached a place
Where the willow don't bend.
There's not much more to be said
It's the top of the end.
I'm going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.
I'm closin' the book
On the pages and the text
And I don't really care
What happens next.
I'm just going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.
I been hangin' on threads,
I been playin' it straight,
Now, I've just got to cut loose
Before it gets late.
So I'm going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.
Grandma said, "Boy, go and follow your heart
And you'll be fine at the end of the line.
All that's gold isn't meant to shine.
Don't you and your one true love ever part."
I been walkin' the road,
I been livin' on the edge,
Now, I've just got to go
Before I get to the ledge.
So I'm going,
I'm just going,
I'm gone.

well i've just reached a place
where i can't stay awake
i got to leave you baby
before my heart will break
i ain't going,
i ain't going,
i ain't gone
come over here baby
cause i'm telling you this
you got to believe it
you got to give me one more kiss
i ain't going
i ain't going
i ain't gone
fix me one more drink, babe
and hold on one more time
but don't get too close
to make me change my mind
i ain't going
i ain't going i ain't gone
now my mama always said something true
"you gotta follow your heart
you'll be praying at the end of the line
all that's gold wasn't meant to shine
just don't put your horse in front of your car"
now from boston to birmingham
is a two day ride
but i got to be going now
cause i'm so dissatisfied
i ain't going
i ain't going
i ain't gone
