Somewhere Between Goodbye and Gone Songtext
von Chris Ward

She packed her things last Friday night
After one too many versions of the same old fight
She′s got a little place on the edge of town
Now she's trying to burn the memories down

She was living with the lonely night and day
Dragging it around like a ball and chain
Wishing to God she had a hard ass heart as stone
And it′s shaky ground she's standing on
Somewhere between goodbye and gone

Meanwhile, back at the old home place
He's searching high and low for some saving grace
Bouncing off the walls, wondering what to do
′Cause war is hell on the home front too


He′s living with the lonely night and day
Dragging it around like a ball and chain
Wishing to God he had a hard ass heart as stone
And it's shaky ground he′s standing on
Somewhere between goodbye and gone

The middle of the night, but she's not asleep
She hears his old Ford truck coming down her street
She′s standing at the door, rope clutched to her chin
He says, "Baby can we talk? Can I please come in?"

I've been living with the lonely night and day
Dragging it around like a ball and chain
Wishing to God I had a hard ass heart as stone
He says, "Come on honey, won′t you please come home
I sure do need you and I sure was wrong
I'll meet you in the middle between goodbye and gone"
