Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb, you know better but i know him.
Like i told you, what i said, steal your face right off your head.
Now he�s gone, now he�s gone, lord he�s gone, he�s gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin� down the track
He�s gone, gone, nothin�s gonna bring him back...he�s gone.
Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
Nothin� left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!
Now he�s gone, now he�s gone lord he�s gone, he�s gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin� down the track
He�s gone, gone, nothin�s gonna bring him back...he�s gone.
Goin� where the wind don�t blow so strange,
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
Lost one round but the price wasn�t anything,
A knife in the back and more of the same.
Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,
You know better but i know him.
Like i told you, what i said,
Steal your face right off your head.
Now he�s gone, now he�s gone lord he�s gone, he�s gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin� down the track
He�s gone, gone, nothin�s gonna bring him back...he�s gone.
Ooh, nothin�s gonna bring him back.
