This ain't no temporary, typical, tearful goodbye This ain't no breakin' up and wakin' up And makin' up one more time This is gone, gone, gone, gone Gone like a freight-train Gone like yesterday Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang bang Gone like a '59 Cadillac Like all the good things That ain't never coming back She's gone, gone, gone, gone She's gone This ain't no give it time I'm hurtin' but maybe we can work it out Won't be no champagne, red rose, romance, second chance This is gone, gone, gone, gone Gone like a freight-train Gone like yesterday Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang bang Gone like a '59 Cadillac Like all the good things That ain't never coming back Long gone, done me wrong Never comin' back, my baby's gone, yes she's gone Lonely at home, sittin' all alone She's packed her bags and now she's gone, never coming back She's gone, gone, gone, gone Gone like a freight-train Gone like yesterday Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang bang Gone like a '59 Cadillac Like all the good things That ain't never coming back And she's gone, she's gone And she's gone
