Balsam Range Get Me Gone
[Verse 1]
Stumblin' 'round in the pitch black dark
Big ol' hole right through my heart
Waitin' on the first sweeet sign of dawn
I never found any sacred ground
In this godforsaken town
Won't you give me some light good lord, and get me gone
[Chorus]
Get me gone like a shooting star
Just as fast, and just as far
Gone like the long lost love in a country song
Gone like whiskey, gone like broke
Straight out of here like wind-blown smoke
Why don't you give me some light good lord, and get me gone
[Verse 2]
I left a good woman I really loved
For the arms of lady luck
Now the kiss is cold and bitter on my tongue
You warm the marrow in these bones
And while you got your big light on
Shine it on the road home, and get me gone
[Chorus]
Get me gone like a shooting star
Just as fast, and just as far
Gone like the long lost love in a country song
Gone like whiskey, gone like broke
Straight out of here like wind-blown smoke
Why don't you give me some light good lord, and get me gone
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Get me gone like a shooting star
Just as fast, and just as far
Gone like the long lost love in a country song
Gone like whiskey, gone like broke
Straight out of here like wind-blown smoke
Why don't you give me some light good lord, and get me gone
