Gone Like The Water

Freedy Johnston

A red suitcase she'll never miss

Leather coat he used to wear

Thinking tough, looking tired with momma's money and daddy's ring

He's gone like the water down to end

Why's he sleeping on the 802 along this river running down

He's gone like the water down the deep

Cold drain, disappearing in the city



Twenty four and going pale

Growing out, cutting back

Drew a face on a ticket stub

With mamma's hands and daddy's pen

He's gone like the water down to end

Why's he sleeping on the 802 along this river running down

He's gone like the water down the deep

Cold drain, disappearing in the city



Talk all night, cook all day

Looking for a new place to stay

Thinking hard, looking bad

With mamma's dollar and daddy's coat

He's gone like the water down to end

Why's he sleeping on the 802 along this river running down

He's gone like the water down the deep

Cold drain, disappearing in the city
