I'll Be Gone

This town is dead

This world is rotting

I've seen this country's fifty states

And I've forgotten

Every name and every place

I drank my way through every hour

Every day I've spent away from home

And it doesn't mean shit to me

Cause I didn't see it with you

No it doesn't mean shit to me

Alone

This brain is dead

This body's rotting

I came, I saw

I never conquered anything

I've spent my life in vans on tours

In rich men's homes

On poor men's floors

I've sold my soul to find a shred of hope

And it doesn't mean shit to me

Cause I didn't find it with you

No it doesn't mean shit to me

Alone

Someday I'll be gone

And this all forgotten

With these cold and lonely words

Someday I'll be dead

And this all for nothing

She'll live the way she should

But when you see her remind her I tried

And tell her see you to remember I've tried
