She's Gone

Everybody’s high on consolation

Everybody’s trying to tell me what is right for me

My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon

But it’s plain to see that they can’t comfort me

Sorry Charlie for the imposition

I think I’ve got it, got it, I think I’ve found the strength to carry on

I need a drink and a quick decision

Now it’s up to me, what will be?

She’s gone

Oh why? Oh why?

I better learn how to face it

She’s gone

Oh why? Oh why?

I’d pay the devil to replace her

She’s gone, what went wrong

Get up in the morning and look in the mirror

There’s one less toothbrush hanging in the stand

My face ain’t looking any younger

Now I can see love’s taken a toll on me

She’s gone

Oh why? Oh why?

I better learn how to face it

She’s gone

Oh why? Oh why?

I’d pay the devil to replace her

She’s gone, what went wrong

Think I’ll spend eternity in the city

Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thought away

And pretty bodies will dissolve the memories

But they can never be what she was to me

She’s gone. Gone. Gone.

She’s gone

Oh why? Oh why?

I better learn how to face it

She’s gone

Oh why? Oh why?

I’d pay the devil to replace her

She’s gone, what went wrong

She’s gone, what went wrong

She’s gone, what went wrong
