    Lyrics

    When I came to the city I was green as green could be
    Didn't know myself, and hung on what they thought of me
    But I got a feeling these ain't my kind of folks
    They laughed at my clothes and not at my jokes
    And I wished I could fly a million miles from here

    The change in me is frightening to behold
    Cash burns holes in your pockets, work burns holes in your soul
    I can feel the eyes of the voiceless crowd
    Might even be scared to live out loud
    And just dream of being free a million miles from here

    Gone, gone, gone, gone ain't a place, no road'll take you there

    There's a few kinds of trouble just seem to follow me around
    They show their old faces any time that I slow down
    They followed me out to the golden coast
    Introduced themselves to those I loved the most
    And they'll be hounding me a million miles from here

    Some folks say there's a heaven up above
    And this vale of tears ain't no place to put your love
    Some other folks say the world's whatever they call it
    They say open your mind, and open your wallet
    And you'll wake up a million miles from here

    Gone, gone, gone, gone ain't a place, no road'll take you there
    Gone, gone, gone, gone ain't a place, there's no way to nowhere

    There's no such place, there's no such place,
    There's no such place as gone
    Wherever you go, there you go along
    There's no such place as gone

    In the country they're living like we all might have to do (and it might be real soon!)
    You taking care of me, me looking after you
    They said welcome home, what a sound to hear
    Welcome home, let go your fear
    But it feels like a million miles from here

    Gone, gone, gone, gone ain't a place, no road'll take you there
    Gone, gone, gone, gone ain't a place, there's no way to nowhere
