The Grateful Dead - He’s Gone lyrics
[The Grateful Dead - He’s Gone lyrics]
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
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, he's gone
And nothin's going to bring him back
He's gone
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
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
Going where the wind don't blow so strange
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything
A knife in the back and more of the same
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
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, he's gone
And nothin's going to bring him back
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive
Rolling down the track, he's gone, he's gone
And nothing's going to bring him back
He's gone
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said
Steal your face right off your head
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, he's gone
And nothin's going to bring him back
He's gone
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
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
Going where the wind don't blow so strange
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything
A knife in the back and more of the same
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
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, he's gone
And nothin's going to bring him back
He's gone
Like a steam locomotive
Rolling down the track, he's gone, he's gone
And nothing's going to bring him back
He's gone
