Yesterday's Gone

(album: Fear No Evil - 1995)

Jesse works till midnight in nowhere USA
Pumping gas checking oil on a lonely interstate
Walking down the highway, he looks up to the sky
And he asks Dear Lord how will I make it by?
You know he didn't have a nickel to his name
Although he had a one way ticket just the same
Yes, you know it's true, it's time to
leave those things behind you.
[Chorus:]
Treat everyday like Yesterday's Gone
Treat everyday like Yesterday's Gone
Ah move along, Yesterday's Gone
Yesterday is Gone, gone, gone, baby
it's far gone
With a bag thrown over his shoulder
Jesse had to hitch a ride
All his friends said he's crazy, you'll
never get to the other side
With a hope and a dream and a
promise, that's really all he had
But he don't care
Ain't nothing gonna turn out that bad
You know he didn't have a nickel to his name
Although he had a one way ticket just the same
Yes you know it's true, it's time to
leave those things behind you
[Repeat Chorus]
Yea ain't that right boys C'mon hit it
Many times I've wondered where Jesse is today
Is he on top of the world or knocking at heaven's gate
The one thing I remember as I look up to the sky
Was the look on his face as he waved goodbye
He said Yesterday's Gone
Yesterday's Gone...
