Lyrics

Rat in a drain ditch
Caught on a limb
You know better but I know him
Like I told you
What I said
Steal your face right off your head
Now he's gone
Now he's gone, Lord he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's go-oh-one
He's go-one, an' nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone
Nine mile skid
On a ten mile ride
Hot as a pistol but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof
Dogs in a pile
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile
Now he's gone
Now he's gone, Lord he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's go-oh-one
He's go-one, an' nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone
Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything
A knife in the back and more of the same
Same old, rat in a drain ditch
Caught on a limb
You know better but I know him
Like I told you
What I said
Steal your face right off your head
Now he's gone
Now he's gone, Lord he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's go-oh-one
He's go-one, an' nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's go-oh-one
He's go-one, an' nothin's gonna bring him back
He's gone
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back
