She's Gone He cried for your soul That's what they tell her and she acts so smooth She's fallen five years behind as she makes up her mind And her patience lies in gutter. It's been a long long time since she remembers kissing him The coarseness of his lips is what she isn't missing about him It's always been a struggle to remain a loving sister She's never known someone she hasn't pushed away So she takes wing and sets off to see She's gone Heading eastward on a westbound train going nowhere fast And it's been so long since I've seen her with smile across her face Crossing into Athens getting further from the truth The city's looking like a roost for the bad men and mad men She tried to leave and what she doesn't know becomes a goldmine for the whole damn night How far to Gainesville she quips to a boy who isn't sitting next to her Then she lifts her hands up to catch the rain Goes back to the mad men who tagged along So she'll run away again She's gone Heading eastward on a westbound train going nowhere fast And it's been so long since I've seen her with smile across her face The sun is coming up and she takes another sip from her empty cup Swallows up her pride and says that I am still alive and I want to keep my life Where to now She's gone Heading eastward on a westbound train going nowhere fast And it's been so long since I've seen her with smile across her face
