Goin' Home |
| She made for the highway |
| He made for the gate |
| He could’ve caught the rhythm |
| Something made him hesitate |
| He watched her flag a truck down |
| To the county line |
| The border she was crossin' |
| Was only in her mind |
| But there was something bitter in |
| The flavor of the chase |
| When you’ve been down and low before |
| That darkened interstate |
| When it’s going, going, gone |
| Where love is muddy water |
| And love is broken sails |
| When love is double crossing |
| Kisses and betrayals |
| Baby, what is happening? |
| Will you pass the glass? |
| Pour me something special |
| Something that will last |
| My eyes are going under |
| And my voice is growing thin |
| It all seems too familiar |
| Is it somewhere where I’ve been |
| When it’s going, going, gone |
| I’ve been living here too long |
| Trying to find out why |
| Too many unanswered questions |
| And the truth just vaporized |
| Shirley Temple was a puppet |
| Will Rogers was a clown |
| And now nobody cares to say |
| What is going on |
| Take all your ideals |
| And throw them in the flood |
| All your knives and needles |
| Are on |
| When it’s going, going, gone |
| Paint on the cathedrals |
| Is chipping and it’s cracked |
| Where they once had kneeled |
| They no longer look back |
| The footprints in San Marco’s |
| Like some broken-down corral |
| Our prayers were like a rosary |
| Into the Grand Canal |
| I wonder how she wakes up |
| And the light inside her room |
| I wonder how she holds herself |
| While staring at the moon |
| When it’s going, going, gone |
