Gone There Songtext
von Doghouse Roses

I was born in the year of the ox
Early years felt like I was thrown to the dogs

On a three day week
With only time to spare
Seems like fate not to trust your own mind
What′s in the air back then, today's hard to find
It′s a long way to go
Just to find a friend
I heard people praying like there must be something more
Felt like Robert Barclay on that East Jersey shore
It's a long way home
To a place I never left


Those too young to worry
I don't envy now
Don′t care to think too much for myself anyhow
And I′m not alone
I might just seem that way
So got to kick
And feel I could shout

I'm damned if I′m just gonna give up like that
There's good soil on this land
Waits to be turned again
So throw down the grain
Put down your guns
You′ll never survive, just look what we've become
It′s a long way home
To come back again

I see people watch from the corner of an eye
Mistrust turns to fear, lose the man, lose the child

And we're gone right there
The past will teach us
We're gone right there
The past will teach us
We′re gone right there
