Gone Again Songtext

von Sweethearts of the Rodeo

I'm packing bags, making plans to leave.
Oh Lord, that plane won't wait.
Life on the road isn't easy for me.
You know I'd love to stay.
Don't wanna leave, I wanna hold you tight.
Seems like I never win.
'Cos all we ever do is say goodbye.
So long, I'm gone again.

Feel like I'm runnin' but I don't know where.
Another lonely town.
You know I'll call you when I get down there.
Soon I'll be homeward bound.
I thought I held you in a dream last night.
Oh, I was wrong again.
'Cos all we ever do is say goodbye.
So long, I'm gone again.

Don't wanna spend another night alone,
Or stay gone, for too long.
I know you'll be there when I get back home.
And it keeps me hangin' on.

I say a prayer when the night is through.
"Just one more lonely day."
I tell the baby: "Mama's missin' you."
I don't know what else to say.
You say you love me and I start to cry.
Over the 'phone again.
'Cos all we ever do is say goodbye.
So long, I'm gone again.

Instrumental break.

I'm packing bags, making plans to leave.
Oh Lord, that plane won't wait.
Life on the road isn't easy for me.
You know I'd love to stay.
So long, I'm gone again.
So long, I'm gone again.
So long, I'm gone again.
