Gone Like The Water

A red suitcase she'll never miss

A leather coat he used to wear

Thinking tough, looking tired

With momma's money and daddy's ring

Chorus:

He's gone like the water down to

NYC

Sleeping on the 802

Along this river, running down

He's gone like the water down

The deep hole drain

Disappering in the city

Twenty-four and growing pale

Growing up, coming back

Drew a face on the ticket stub

With mamma'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
