lyrics

...

Well she's gone down the road
where she's gone I just can't tell
with packed up things she stepped upon the rail
she did not say "fare you well"

Well she's gone down the line
wearing a smile and one flower in her hair
she kissed her mama goodbye saying she'd be fine
and left here without one care
she's gone I just don't know where

My thoughts and my heart how they pound
It's like it's beating a hole right through my chest
my ears are hot, filled up with the rolling sound
one second more and she'll be gone with the rest
one second and she's gone, I guess

Well she's gone now I know
I ran far and as fast as I could
that old steel stallion's stolen her down the winding road
nothing left behind, and nothing owed
one story ends and one begins to unfold
she's gone down the road

...
