Glad I'm Gone

Time was, we couldn't wait to feel each other's touch

Couldn't stand to be apart too long or too much

Now's a diff'rent situation, funny how love can start to fade

How fast it goes from boom to bust

Well, if I had my choice

We'd part as friends, but it ain't up to me

You told me to go where it don't snow

Well, if that's how it's gonna be

Just gimme two rails of steel

Silver wings or eighteen wheels

This ain't the first time in my life

I been sent packin' with my pride

All I need's a blacktop road

Don't even matter where I go

The moon an' stars will keep me company till the dawn

An' when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm gone

So you can keep your Dear John letter if it's all the same to you

I've read the writin' on the wall, we're through

Your own words of consolation, your self-righteous indignation

Sound more like lies to tell the truth

Feels good, I guess

To get it off my chest before I'm up an' leave

So you can save your sermon for someone else

Instead of wastin' it on me

Just gimme two rails of steel

Silver wings or eighteen wheels

This ain't the first time in my life

I been sent packin' with my pride

All I need's a blacktop road

Don't even matter where I go

The moon an' stars will keep me company till the dawn

An' when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm gone

Just gimme two rails of steel

Silver wings or eighteen wheels

This ain't the first time in my life

I been sent packin' with my pride

All I need's a blacktop road

Don't even matter where I go

The moon an' stars will keep me company till the dawn

And when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm gone

Glad I'm gone
