Shawn Colvin Lyrics
"I'm Gone"

There are things that I will do for a hatchet job too
Ante up, there's a new kid in town
But it won't take long for what's red hot and blonde
To be ashes on the ground

The Manhattan skyline, a bed and a byline
Well, I've come and I've cradled your face
And I won't be the last one to commit crimes of passion
With a shoot-out and a chase

Over and over and over and over
I'm beckoning, begging and I keep hanging on
Going once, going twice, mercy God, Jesus Christ
And I'm gone, and I'm gone, and I'm gone

Well, nothing has changed since the last time I came
Got my pride and my hat in my hand
And I never sleep well and I still kiss and tell
And I do not pay the band

Over and over and over and over
I'm beckoning, begging, I keep hanging on
Going once, going twice, mercy God, Jesus Christ
And I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
And I'm gone, and I'm gone, I'm gone
