I'm Gone - Dolly Parton

Some chewing gum and candy, some magazines and snacks,

Some startin' over money that I’ve been holdin' back,

A change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long

A one-way ticket sayin' good-bye to everything

Threw my weddin' band out the window of the train

All I want’s my freedom, reclaim my maiden name

I’m movin' on 'cause I’m gone

You can tell the truth or you can lie

You can say I left you or I died

Say I’m in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest

And could spend years lookin' for the light

Say I’m in the witness program with the F.B.I.,

Say a U.F.O.

abducted me from home

You can say what you chose, but I tell you the truth

You can say for sure I’m gone, 'cause I’m gone

You think that you’re above me, like I’m not good enough

You make me feel unwanted, unwelcome and unloved

You’re selfish, vain and greedy;

you’re hateful, rude and rough

And you’re so wrong

But you’d rather live unhappy and tolerate the pain

Than separate and have me takin' half of everything

Well, I’m leavin' your possessions, left on the good-bye train,

Left you alone 'cause I’m gone

You can have the house, the car, the boat,

My records, books and stereo,

The dog and the cat, my ceramic shop out back,

My doll collection and my clothes

You can keep all our friends and all the pictures in the den,

And the fluffy pillows you sleep on

But when you lay your head on that big feather bed

You can rest assured I’ll be gone;

I’ll be gone

You can tell the truth or you can lie

You can say I left or I died

Say I’m in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest

And could spend years lookin' for the light

Say I’m in the witness program with the F.B.I.

Say a U.F.O.

abducted me from home

Well, you can say what you chose, but I tell you the truth

You can say for sure I’m gone

You can say what you like, but I’ll tell you twice

You can say for sure, say for sure I’m gone, gone

Some chewing gum and candy, magazines and snacks,

Startin' over money I’ve been holding back,

Change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long

I got a one-way ticket sayin' good-bye to everything

I threw my weddin' band out of the window of the train

All I want’s my freedom, reclaim my maiden name

I’m moving on 'cause I’m gone

Oh, I’m gone, gone, gone;

I’m gone

I’m so gone, I’m gone;

gone, I’m gone
