Goner


Too much time in a day
Too much time to burn
Half the time anyway
Light a fire just to watch it burn

In a mine below the town
Came a rumble, a gunshot sound
Sure as shootin’ that he’d go down
Make the devil feel so proud

Looking high searching low
Keep an eye on Cody Joe
Just remember he already knows
How he dies where he goes
How he dies where he goes

Montana carry me
To a heaven I can see
I’m a goner probably so please
When I’m gone remember me

One more band is swinging
One more singer singing
One more life is livin’ but mine has come and gone
One more crow is crowin’
One more smoker’s smokin’
Cause he knows its just one step away
Just one step away

He was gunned down in a hole
He was gunned down in a hole
You don’t know how life unfolds
You could wind up dead in a hole
