Goin' Gone Songtext
von Eric Andersen

She made for the highway, he made for the gate
Coulda caught the rhythm, somethin′ made him hesitate
Watched her flag a truck down to the county line
The border she was crossin' was only in her mind

There was somethin′ bitter in the flavor of the chase
When you've been down that road before, that darkened interstate

Well, it's goin′, goin′, gone

Love is muddy waters, love is broken sails
Love is double-crossin', kisses and betrayals
Baby, what is happenin′? Won't you pass the glass?
Pour me somethin′ special, somethin' that will last

My eyes are goin′ under, my voice is growin' thin
It all seems so familiar, is it somewhere where I've been?

When it′s goin′, goin', gone


I′ve been livin' here too long, I′ve been tryin' to find out why
Too many unanswered questions, the truth just vaporized
Shirley Temple was a puppet, Will Rogers was a clown
Now nobody cares to say what is goin′ on

Take all your ideals, go throw 'em in the flood
All your knives and needles are no substitute for love

And it's goin′, goin′, gone

Paint on the cathedral, it's chippin′ and it's cracked
Where we once had kneeled, we no longer look back
Her footprints in San Marco like some broken down corral
Our prayers rollin′ like rosaries into the Grand Canal

I wonder how she wakes up in the light inside her room
I wonder how she holds herself while starin' at the moon

When it′s goin', goin', gone
Goin′, goin′, gone
It's goin′, goin', gone
Goin′, goin', gone
