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
