Lyrics Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton

I'm Gone

Some chewing gum and candy, some magazines and snacks,

Some startin' over money that I've been holdin' back,

A change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long

A one-way ticket sayin' good-bye to everything

Threw my weddin' band out the window of the train

All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name

I'm movin' on 'cause I'm gone

You can tell the truth or you can lie

You can say I left you or I died

Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest

And could spend years lookin' for the light

Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I.,

Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home

You can say what you chose, but I tell you the truth

You can say for sure I'm gone, 'cause I'm gone

You think that you're above me, like I'm not good enough

You make me feel unwanted, unwelcome and unloved

You're selfish, vain and greedy
