Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said
Steal your face right off your head
Now hes gone
Now hes gone, Lord, hes gone
Hes gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
Hes gone, gone
And nothings gonna bring him back
Hes gone
Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride
Hot as a pistol but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile
Now hes gone
Now hes gone, Lord, hes gone
Hes gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
Hes gone, gone
And nothings gonna bring him back
Hes gone
Going where the wind dont blow so strange
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain
I lost one round but the price wasnt anything
A knife in the back and more of the same
Same old rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb
You know better but I know him
Like I told you, what I said
Steal your face right off your head
Now hes gone
Now hes gone, Lord, hes gone
Hes gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
Hes gone, gone
And nothings gonna bring him back
Hes gone
Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track
Hes gone, gone
And nothings gonna bring him back, hes gone
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back 
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back 
Ooh , nothings gonna bring him back 
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
Ooh, nothings gonna bring him back
