Brock Zeman - Gone Lyrics
And her Mama had a busted smile, a cotton dress and a black eyeShe had a bag of clothes and twenty bucksThe sun was down and her mind was made upShe saw them headlights coming and whispered to herselfHere goes nothingHe had his hair slicked back and whiskey breathBlood shoot eyes and a pack of cigarettesHe said, "Where you heading" she said, "No clue"He said, "Well you're in luck Honey, I'm heading there too"Snake skin boots and a switch blade, a gold money clip getting emptyA short future and a long past, an El Camino and a tank of gasShe had a song singing in her head that says"I love this town when I'm leaving or left"To keep from going crazy you gotta get a little wildI might be young but I ain't no childWe've all gotta foot on the ground and another in the graveYou're either living your life or just taking up spaceShe ain't sad or sorry and she ain't wrongShe ain't leaving, she's just goneThe gas tank sang a song called emptyHe filled it up and then he tossed her the keysShe saw the gun and said, "Whatcha doing anyways?"He said, "Something you'll remember HoneyWhen you're old and grey"But he came out with his hand clenching his chestAnd his white t-shirt turning redSome money in a bag and a case of beerHe said, "Hit the gas Honey, lets get outta here"She opened a beer took a big gulpCould barely squeeze a word through the lump in her throatAnd all she could think of as she drove awayWas: Jesus Christ, I never even got his nameThen she pulled off down a dirt roadWhen his breathing stopped and his eyes fell closeShe took the money and stuffed it in her pocketsKissed him on the cheek and started walkingA few days later and a few more townsShe walks into a dinner and quietly sits downWith some of the money she orders up some foodThat's when she sees his face on the front page of the newsIt said: A man died from a bullet in the chestAfter robbing a gas station a few nights backThe lipstick on his cheek says he wasn't aloneBut by the time they made the scene she was already gone
