Gone at Last

Wheels spinning 'round, mama Don't want to be the one who lets you down Steam spilling out now I ain't got the time to hang around Heedless and blind Leaving all the world behind How soon is that train leaving? Is that the one he's on, tell me fast I don't know who you mean, ma'am It seems you've picked the wrong place to ask Lost him in the crowd He could be anywhere by now He was feeling fine When he tore his hand from mine Yes, take me back to Old Mill I was much too young for leaving town And the man you once were holding I could never be left around Where they mean the things they say And weather doesn't change on a dime And there is no guessing game between What lies within their hearts and what's in mine Heedless and blind Leaving all the world behind Rolling along, farther down the line Holding tight to every sweet affection I cast aside, and later couldn't find Passing through the blinds Roaring by, the leaves are turning The song of our love plays on in my ears A hundred miles away or more I feel I don't belong anywhere Don't say you haven't seen him He's just a child, I don't know who else to ask If someone doesn't find him I'll have the whole department brought to task But he's already gone, riding fast Yes, he's already on, gone at last
