I’m Gone

Music and Lyrics DAVID STOREY – SOCAN JANUARY 2018

Jimmy Jones had a heart attack in the boardroom on the forty first floor.
He’d been pushing paper and saying yes sir for 35 years or more.
Someone’s got to do it, someone’s got to pay
I’m looking at his empty desk, I don’t want to end this way.
Too young for the walker, too old for the toys
Gonna give it all away, I’ don’t need the noise
I will change the channel, from CNN to flannel
Looking in the mirror my friend, time to cash it in

Gonna get a pick-up truck and sweet old cowboy hat.
Make a home high in the mountains, disappear just like that.
So if you’re looking for someone to pin the blame on
It ain’t me cause I’m…..
Gone, I’m gone. I’m gone

I’ve got one life to live, I’ve got one heart to give
I know who I am, and I don’t give a damn
