Watch Me Gone

There was a train leavin' for a big beat in a big life Are you comin'? I may have asked you once or twice But I'd already left the hallway with broken lights Some dingy landin' we used to tumble from Where the stairs were cracked and worn, whatever Watch me go, babe, watch me gone And the songs were pushin' harder all the time Wasn't your fault, then again it wasn't mine Broke, frustrated, and obsessed You saw me as ridiculous, I guess And I didn't know from nothing Not even my own voice But I knew there was something And I knew there was no choice I was leavin', mostly heartache But I was in no mood to rejoice There was so much that was wrong, whatever Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Well, maybe I'll hit the road with Bob Or maybe hitch a ride with Van It's all gonna happen and I'll be a happening man And God must still be laughing at a boy and his plans In the streets where they were born And the hopscotch traces, well, you can still see 'em here The chalk lines faded and unclear Time for me to disappear Put my old boots back on, whatever Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Watch me go, babe, watch me gone Watch me go, babe, watch me gone
