He’s Gone (Live at Community War Memorial, Rochester, NY, November 5, 1977)

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Now he's gone
Now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back, he's gone

[Verse 2]
Nine-mile skid on a ten-mile ride
Hot as a pistol but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

[Chorus]
Now he's gone
Now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotivе rolling down the track
He's gone, gonе
And nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
Going where the wind don't blow so strange
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain
I lost one round but the price wasn't anything
A knife in the back and more of the same

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Now he's gone
Now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back
He's gone

[Outro]
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
He's gone, gone
And nothing's gonna bring him back, he's gone
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
Ooh, yeah, nothing's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
(He's gone, he's gone, oh oh)
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
(Well, he's gone, well, he's gone for good)
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
(You know)
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
(Oh, nothing's gonna bring him back)
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
(Well, he's gone, well, he's gone for good)
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
(Well, he's gone, well, he's gone)
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
(Well, he's gone, well, he's gone for good)
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
(Well, he's gone, well, he's gone, well, he's gone)
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothing's gonna bring him back
