lyrics
HELL AND GONE
For all the years you’ve taken and all of the times I tried
Gonna break free of these chains and hop the fastest train
And you will be the one to cry
I’m gonna ride from city to city and I’ll blow in like a hurricane
With my eyes rimmed in black and silk on my back
Ain’t nowhere gonna be the same
Ain’t gonna write you a letter - Ain’t gonna come back home
You’re gonna see me never - No matter where I roam
When you hear that whistle blowin
Lord, I’ll be hell and gone, hell and gone
And I’ll smoke all the tea in China, and I’ll drink all the whiskey stills dry
Leave a trail of broken hearts and that’s just for a start,
and you won’t need to wonder why
All the men folk will shake and quiver and the women will weep and moan
Holy rollers beggin’ please, prayin down on their knees
For the woman with the heart of stone
Ain’t gonna write you a letter – you’re gonna see me never…
By the time they see me comin’, Lord, I’ll be hell and gone
Hell and gone
For all the years you’ve taken and all of the times I tried
Gonna break free of these chains and hop the fastest train
And you will be the one to cry
I’m gonna ride from city to city and I’ll blow in like a hurricane
With my eyes rimmed in black and silk on my back
Ain’t nowhere gonna be the same
Ain’t gonna write you a letter - Ain’t gonna come back home
You’re gonna see me never - No matter where I roam
When you hear that whistle blowin
Lord, I’ll be hell and gone, hell and gone
And I’ll smoke all the tea in China, and I’ll drink all the whiskey stills dry
Leave a trail of broken hearts and that’s just for a start,
and you won’t need to wonder why
All the men folk will shake and quiver and the women will weep and moan
Holy rollers beggin’ please, prayin down on their knees
For the woman with the heart of stone
Ain’t gonna write you a letter – you’re gonna see me never…
By the time they see me comin’, Lord, I’ll be hell and gone
Hell and gone
