Gone Like the Water

A red suitcase she'll never miss

A leather coat he used to wear

Thinking tough, looking tired

With mama's money and daddy's ring

Chorus:

He's gone like the water down to

NYC

Sleeping on the 8:02

Along this river, running down

He's gone like the water down

The depot drain

Disappering in the city

Twenty-four and growing pale

Growing out, cutting back

Drew a face on the ticket stub

With mama's hands, and daddy's pen

Chorus

Talk all night, cook all day

Looking for a new place to stay

Thinking hard, looking bad

With mama's dollar in daddy's coat

Chorus
