Some chewing gum and candy
Some magazines and snacks
Some startin' over money
That I've been holdin' back
A change of clothes and notepad
To write a letter back to say, "So long"
A one-way ticket sayin', "Goodbye everything"
Threw my weddin' band out the window of the train
All I want's my freedom
Reclaim my maiden name, I'm movin' on
'Cause I'm gone
You can tell the truth or you can lie
You can say I left you or I died
Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest
And could spend years lookin' for the light
Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I.
Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home
You can say what you choose, but I tell you the truth
You can say for sure I'm gone, 'cause I'm gone
You think that you're above me like I'm not good enough
You make me feel unwanted, unwelcome and unloved
You're selfish, vain and greedy
You're hateful, rude and rough and you're so wrong
But you'd rather live unhappy and tolerate the pain
Than separate and have me takin' half of everything
Well, I'm leavin' your possessions
Left on the goodbye train, left you alone
'Cause I'm gone
You can have the house, the car, the boat
My records, books and stereo
The dog and the cat, my ceramic shop out back
My doll collection and my clothes
You can keep all our friends and all the pictures in the den
And the fluffy pillows you sleep on
When you lay your head on that big feather bed
You can rest assured I'll be gone, I'll be gone
