Good and Gone

Five o'clock in the morning

She slips out of the bed

Washes the darkness from her eyes

And the dreams out of her head

Grabs some clothes and her old guitar.

She can't take time to pack.

Jumps in her Chevy and cranks her up

She never will look back

She's good and gone

Leaving it all behind.

Long about seven thirty

He'll turn and reach for her

But she knows he won't be so surprised

To find that she's not there

They both knew this was coming

Just a matter of time

The note she left on the night stand

Says it all in just two lines.

I'm good and gone.

I'm leaving it all behind.

Chorus1:

She's good and gone

As the darkness falls away

Good and gone

Looking for that brighter day

Good and gone

No more false hopes and no more counting time

She's good and gone and leaving it all behind.

Some of the folks that she's leaving

She knows she's gonna miss

She'll give them a call from time to time

Just to chat and reminisce

But sometimes things get too damn strange

Confusing to know what's true

Sometimes leaving it all behind

Is the only thing left to do

She's good and gone

Leaving it all behind.

Chorus2:

She's good and gone

There's no need for long goodbyes

Good and gone

Watch the highway rush on by

Good and gone

No more false hopes and no more counting time

She's good and gone and leaving it all behind.

Those old dreams were left behind

Like the baggage she could not load.

She's looking for that setting sun

And a new dream down the road
