Just As Gone

(альбом: Billy Joe Thomas - 1972)

Don't you go crying
'Cause it's too late for that now
Tears don't fit your face
They don't fit your act somehow

Well, then anyway it won't be just today
Till you find someone who's glad to tag along
And you'll be just as happy
And I'll be just as gone

Don't pull out your hair, girl
Go and wash your streaming eyes
Pull yourself back together
Tighten it up and realize

It was never your style to beg a man to stay
So don't tell me that we'll never get along
'Cause you'll be twice as sorry
And I'll be just as gone

Just as gone as the summer when it's snowing
Just as gone as the wind when it ain't blowing
Girl, you oughta be smart enough to be knowing
That you're only hanging on
So don't be sad 'cause I'll be just as gone

I'm just as good as gone
So stop your carrying on
'Cause I'm good as gone, I'm just as good as gone
Stop your carrying on
'Cause I'm good as gone, I'm good as gone
