He's Gone [2001 Remaster} - Grateful Dead

Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb

You know better but I know him

Like I told you, what I said

Steal your face right off your head

Now, he’s gone, now he’s gone, Lord, he’s gone

He’s gone, like a steam locomotive

Rolling down the track, he’s gone, he’s gone

And nothin’s going to bring him back, he’s gone

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride

Hot as a pistol but cool inside

Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile

Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

Going where the wind don’t blow so strange

Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain

Lost one round but the price wasn’t anything

A knife in the back and more of the same

Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb

You know better but I know him

Like I told you, what I said

Steal your face right off your head

Ne

Like a steam locomotive

Rolling down the track, he’s gone, he’s gone

And nothing’s going to bring him back, he’s gone

Ooh, nothing’s going to bring him back
